Film Lesson : "The Right Stuff"

"The Right Stuff" is a movie about the race to space, or the Space Race. Russia and America both wanted to have satellites up in Space. Both countries also wanted to have the first man up in Space, not only that but have the first man to land on the moon as well. This was all because of the tension on who had the better technology.

Russia had won the competition. Having the first man in space, but not the first man on the moon. We had the first man on the moon. But we were able to send the first monkey into space. Testing the experience on this innocent animal. Since our rockets kept blowing up.

The scene of trying and failing on so many rockets is something I would never forget. I keep that scene in memory because it helps me remember how hard it was to get into Space.
