The US and the USSR were competing to first see who could break the sound barrier and the who could get the first man on space. The Russians however were winning, this could be because they had better scientists because the scientists in america just were not hittig it, they kept failing to make the right kind of spaceship , one that would not blow up as soon as it went up a couple inches.This could have prolonged america winning. Some of the scences that will help me to remeber the cold war event would be the funny scences with the monkeys and the Outrages tests they had to undergo in order to qualify to go into space.
