Film Lesson: "The Right Stuff"

In class we have seen a film called The Right Stuff. It was a movie about the Cold War between the United States and The Soviet Union. The movie started when the Americans wanted to brake the sound barrier and had succeed. The Americans thought their were all that because they broke the sound barrier and know body didn't yet. Until later on the Russians launched the first satellite into space. The Americans were shocked when they heard this, so they retaliated back by sending a monkey into space. The Americans were laugh at but they succeeded in sending some thing in place, but the russians camed back at them and send a human into space. This place the Americans back into second place in the space race. Overall the Americans and the Soviet Union were at a race in building/creating new industrial materials to overcome everyone.
