Film Lesson: "The Right Stuff"

The US and the USSR were competing in the film "The Right Stuff" by seeing who was the first one to go to outer space and to see who was the first man to the moon. The USSR were the first to send a satellite in outer space. The US was the first to go around the world more than once. Than the US was the first to put a man on the moon and that was the end of the competition. First the USSR was winning the competition but than the US was the winner. The scenes that help me remember this Cold War event is when the man runs through the hall way and dashes into the room where everyone is sitting and says old news that everybody already knew about. That was funny because the old man says that they already knew and that he should just sit down.
