Film Lesson "The Right Stuff"

I really liked the movie "The Right Stuff" because it showed the amazing airplanes in cold war. It was interesting to see the two great powers of the world, the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Both of these powers tried to become first to put a man into space and the first man on the moon. When the US tried to send a monkey up to space the Russians laughed at them because they were unable to send a man into space. But the US were the first to send men to the moon. The planes they made were very sophisticated. They could fly at mach 2 which is about 1500 miles per hour, and these planes were able to fly above 100,000 feet. In my opinion, the Russians won the competition because of the fact that they sent a man up into space first and not a monkey. The scene of the planes flying in the sky definitely will help me remember the Cold War and the Space Race.
