Film Lesson: "The Right Stuff"

Basically in this movie, the scenes we saw explained examples of how the USA and Soviet Union were having like a competition/Non-Violent war. The Cold war is basically when the USA and Russia had a war without weapons or any kind of physical attacks. They would just see to prove which nation is better. In the movie The Right Stuff shows when the US breaks a record of this new technology they have developed and when the media/ press is going to let it out on the news, the US says no don't release it. If Russia sees this they are going to try to beat us. This is one example of how the US doesn't permit the Russians to know about there achievements. Another example is when the US advances in technology they try to test men to see who can be the first one to step on the moon. The Americans got the first living thing on the moon but it wasn't actually a human being. It was a Chimpanzee. After the Americans managed to land that the Russians spend a lot of time trying to make a rocket launch, they failed a couple of times but then they got it and the Russians send the human to the moon but the moon was already claimed by the Americans. This comes to show the kind of war this was. In a way it was really like a competition or like two smart kids trying to see who can get the best grade and they do dirty moves to beat each other.
