Film Lesson : "The Right Stuff"

This film showed us how Russia and the United States, were in a competition on who's technology was more equiped for space. The Russians were able to send the first satellite into space, and because of this we started realizing that we needed to speed up, and try to defeat the Russians in the space area. So then we started working on rockets, but they kept on failing. We finally were able to get our rocket to work, nut we couldn't risk one of our men going up there as we didn't know if our rocket were to blow up, so instead we sent a monkey.

After this the Russians, started to step up, and were able to send the first man into space. Although they did win the race for getting the first man in space, we eventually won because we were able to send the first man to the moon.
