Even though the space race took place in the context of competition and the Cold War, I still think there was a humanist value to completing a tangible goal as a species. For some, it made it seem like we were all on the same team, and maybe we should not be killing each other.

Thanks! Yes, could not agree more about the Cold War origins but with the humanist value. That is certainly a perspective that I hope to convey going into the next Space Race.
