Film Lesson: "The Right Stuff"

This film was a document on the "war" between america and Russia to be the conquerers of space and to be the first to enter space.It basically tells of a battle for power and a title of being the first nation to get into space. Russia got the first into space but America was the first to land sucessfully on a land which was the moon. This was a major turning point in history but also a win against the communist Russia which was important that we succeded.

My favorite part was the ship launch which was epic in the 60s and now because it is so amazing to see this hunk of metal that flies into space and beating the Russians at their own game.
