"The Right Stuff"

In the film "The Right Stuff", the United States and Russia were always competing against each other to become a better country. In the film, the competition started after the United States broke the sound barrier. After this accomplishment made by the United States, Russia launched the first outer spacesatellite, Sputnik. To make themselves better than the Russians, The United Stated tried to put the first man in space, but failed, and ended up putting the first chimpanzee in outer space. The scenes from the film that will help me remember the Cold War event is the scenes in which we see the planes and the sound barrier being broken.
