Film Lesson- "The Right Stuff"

In the movie called "The Right Stuff" the U.S and the USSR were competing to see who can get up into space first. Russia was really winning this race because they put the first to put a man into space. The United States were the first to send a man to the moon so basically it was even between the United States and Russia during the space race.This movie will remind me of the cold war because the movie showed that is was a race to see who could get into space first.
