Film Lesson - "The Righ Stuff"

In the movie "The Right Stuff" both the US and the

USSR were competing against each other. They were mainly

competing on space race. Each one wanted to get to space first,

or before and body else can. Russia was the first one to get a man

in space and satellites. But the US was able to get the first monkey

in space. Mainly, Russia won competition. There were many scenes

from the movie that helped me to remember this. Well, there was a

scene when the Americans were getting ready to send a monkey to

space. Well, they were quite successful. But later found out that the

USSR had already sent a man to space. I also remember all of the tests

the Americans had to go through to got to space. After couple of years

the Americans had sent a man to space. This was very successful.
