Except it's going to go hand in hand with nationalism and fear-mongering. It won't bring people together and that ultimately a lot more sad.

So did the first space race, and it went pretty well, and cooperation between the US and Russia still took place eventually.

uhhh, well I'm sure the space race didn't help in reducing tensions.. but you know all the proxy wars and thousands of soldiers dieing prolly played a bigger role.

There really shouldn't be an use vs. them with China. That's incredibly toxic thinking (trying to create an new Cold War)

I never said there should be. All I said is that nationalism and fearmongering did not prevent the first space race from going well, and did not prevent eventual easing of tensions.
