Film lesson-"The Right Stuff"

In this film the Russians and the Americans where competing to see who can get a spacecraft to space first. In the movie they show the failed attempts of the Americans in the race to get to outer space first. For most of the movie the Russians where wining and they did successfully get men into outer space before the Americans and this is shown in the movie , but the Americans where the first to get a man up on the moon so this sets Russia and American about even. The scenes of this film that are gonna remind me about the cold war the most was the attempts of trying to get the first man up to space and the training that the men selected to go up to space had to endure. This took part during the cold war and that is my reminder of it with this film.
