On a specific topic where the entire point is a race? The point of a race is to win.

Have you worked for a company where they never win at anything? Been in meetings where people want to hear about 'wins'?

Maybe you don't, but I do. I like to work for a winning team.

That there is a competitive race is part of the assumption. That there is value in winning this race at the expense of other competitors is an assumption. That there will always be "losers" and we can't create a scenario where "everyone is a winner" is an assumption.

An alternative perspective on both space races, companies and life in general would be a collaborative one. I like to work on a productive, effective, successful teams, but I don't view that in terms of "winning" and "losing".
