Film Lesson:"The Right Stuff"

In the film the right stuff the Russians and the US are competing in who is more advance in space technology. at first the Russians were more advance because they were the firsts to put a man in space, but then the US, put a man on the moon, which made them head in the competition. a scene from the fill that will help me remeber the cold war event is when they were testing the spaceships. Most of the first spaceships would explote, with out even lifting off. this will help me remeber the cold war event because it shows the desperation that the US had for winning the space competition.
