Film Lesson "The Right Stuff"

The Right Stuff was based on the events of the Cold War and the Space Race. They completed each other to see who would develop the first rocket ship to make it to space.

The Right Stuff showed how test pilots who would be the astronauts would compete to go into space and be the first group of men into space

The USSR was winning but then US took over by having the first man land on the moon

This movie showed actual footage from the actual rockets going up, crashing and the creation of the rockets. They showed the test they gave the Pilots for them to become astronauts. It must have been a real tuff competion.
