Film Lesson: "The Right Stuff"

The film "Right Stuff" was about US and USSR and how they were competing with each other. The USSR send a satellite into space which led to the US breaking the sound barrier. Later on the US realized that the USSR has rocket.

The US felt embarrassed so they were looking for the best of best pilot to go to space. They were training them to see if they are capable of what it takes to go to the space.
The US did so many tests to launch a Rocket but it was unsuccessful. However they tried and tried and hopefully they accomplished. The US sends a monkey into space. however the USSR sends a man into space. The US wanted to build a rocket that will be faster than Soviet Union.

The Soviet Union was winning during the competition because there were the first to launch a rocket, a first to launch a satellite called sputnik, which made the US so mad. The scene from the movie, which reminded about the cold war, is when there were training the people so they can be tough and strong to go to the space. Another scene was when they heard the news that the Russian (Soviet Union) launched sputnik. The US wanted to be the top of the world by beating the Soviet Union in their own game but there plan backed because the Russian were always ahead.
