What’s the movie First Man about?
In 1961, NASA test pilot Neil Armstrong (Ryan Gosling from La La Land and Drive) is flying the X-15 rocket plane when it inadvertently bounces off the atmosphere. Although he manages to land the plane in the Mojave Desert, his colleagues express concern that his recent record of mishaps is due to distraction and he is grounded. His two-and-a-half year old daughter, Karen, is undergoing treatment for a brain tumor. Desperate to save her, Armstrong keeps a detailed log of her symptoms and feverishly tries to find possible treatments, but she dies soon afterwards. Grief-stricken, Armstrong applies for Project Gemini and is accepted to NASA Astronaut Group 2. Armstrong, his wife Janet (Claire Foy from The Crown and Wolf Hall), and their son Rick (Gavin Warren) move to Houston alongside other astronaut families. Armstrong befriends Elliot See (Patrick Fugit from Almost Famous), another civilian test pilot, and Ed White (Jason Clarke from Brotherhood). As Armstrong begins training, Deke Slayton (Kyle Chandler from Super 8 and Carol) impresses upon the new astronauts the importance of the Gemini program, as the Soviet Union had reached every milestone in the Space Race ahead of the United States. Armstrong and Janet have a second son, Mark. By 1965, the family has settled in Houston, and Armstrong awaits selection for a crew. After the Soviets complete the first extravehicular activity (EVA), Armstrong is informed that he will be the commander of Gemini 8, with David Scott (Christopher Abbott from Hello I Must Be Going) as the pilot...

america actually achieved hypervelocity speed via such test flights even before moon landings.... most people dont know neil armstrong is hypervelocity plane/vehicle test pilot before his moon missions.

What is this sub-title crap that I don't ask for and it's in the same language as the dialogue - get rid of it, or allow me to.
