In this movie it talks about the space race which basically a race to get people into space. In this race there was America and Russia or the soviet union. It started when America reached Mach 1 which was surpassing 750 miles per hour which was a huge accomplishment. The reason why is because once you pass 750 mph you break the sound barrier. Once USSR launched the first satellite which was called sputnik America was scared because we thought they could fire nuclear bombs at us from there. Then we started to develop a rocket that would take us into space, it took a while but we finally developed a rocket that took us to space but a monkey was inside which upset ed the astronauts.
After that the Russians sent the first man into space which got some people angry. The Russians were winning the space race but we developed our ships so well we were the first people on the moon. Also Russia feel because of the economy and communism.
