Film Lesson-"The Right Stuff"

Over the years the United States and Russia been going at it. From nuclear bombs to forming alliances. Even sending someone to the moon. This was known as the "space race". In the movie "The Right Suff", the Russians unfortunatley beat us with getting a satellite up into space, and the first man. We got the first monkey into space. We were like a joke to all nations. But, we also were the first to get a man to orbit the Earth and more than once. Since we were only th efirst to get a monkey into space the Russians had technically won the space race. The scene I would always remember is the monkey going up to space. It was hilarious but, a key moment in history.
