Film Lesson: "The Right Stuff"

The US and the USSR were competing on who had the better space program. They at first competed on who could send a man into space first. The Russians succeded first as the US only sent a chimpanzee into space, while the Russians succeded in sending a man. The Russians were clearly winning the competition.

Scenes that I will remember from this movie are all the Rocket failures that NASA had, as it was strange to see how bad it was in the beginning. I will also remember the scene of when the pilot was able to pass the sound barrier in the jet plane. Lastly, I will rember the scenes of all the tests the scientists do on the austronauts, as they seem very intense.
