Film Lesson: "The Right Stuff"

In the movie "The Right Stuff", the United States and the U.S.S.R. were competing on who could send a man up into space first. This competition that they were having was called the "Space Race".

The U.S.S.R. was winning the competition. They had already sent a man up into space before the United States had.

The scene that I would always remember is the scene when the United States kept trying and trying to get a space craft into space & they weren't successful. To me, it showed how hard they were trying in order to win the competition. Eventually they were successful in getting space craft into space.
