Film Lesson-"The right Stuff"

In the movie The Right Stuff, the U.S and Russia competed. They were having a competition to be the first ones to explore the final frontier. Russia was in a sense winning this competition. They were the first ones to get a satelite into space .The U.S always seemed to be one step behind. Only 2 weeks after the U.S had sent the first monkey into space, Russia managed to get the first man into orbit. The scene that will remian in my head is when the men were tring to breathe as hard as possible to see who has the strongest lung capacity. This will remain in my head because they all wanted to be in space.
