The movie " The Right Stuff " was a movie made in the 80's about the USSR and United States competition against each other non-violently. In the movie, they were competing on who could reach the speed of sound witched they called mach 1. and mach 2 ( which is 2x the speed of sound).
The film showed how the USSR launched their first satellite into space. The US heard about this and then they decided to choose 7 well experience pilots with college degrees to be the first astronauts. That's why the movie is called "The Right Stuff" because those pilots had the right stuff. The USSR was winning because they launched the first satellite into space but then the US was trying to put men on the moon. They were not successful at first because all the testing had failed, but in the end they succeeded in getting someone up there.
One of my favorite scenes was what they did during the competition were breaking the sound barrier and how it was a great achievement and when they did the rocket testing and how they failed and winded up exploding and crashed. Another scene was when they were training the people because it showed how determined they were to get there and how they were gonna beat the USSR.
