Film Lesson:"The Right Stuff"

This film about a space race to space and the moon. The United States and Russia were the two countries competing to get into space first.The race was to get the first man into space. We succeeded with sending a monkey into space but Russia got the first man into space. America lost this first race. The second race was to get someone on the moon. America got the first man on the moon! America can claim victory! The scene that will help me remember this Cold War event is were when both the United States and Russia tried to send different rockets into space. America failed at sending those rockets up to space. Once Russia sent up their rocket, America tried so hard to send rockets up to space until they finally succeeded. Eventually they caught up and won the space race.
