Look, this is just cope. Once both nations had icbms, the space race was a propaganda and national prestige thing. The fact that most people say amerikkka won the space race means they did.

in nato-cool maybe. let's try getting poll data from outside the international-community-1international-community-2

Also, no not everything comes down to propaganda victories lol. For example, in warfare, it's highly possible to win a propaganda victory at home among your indoctrinated population while losing the actual war. You can have all your citizens believe your army is killing 5161864681614 enemy combatants every day when in fact it's mostly killing civilians and getting bogged down in counter-insurgency. This is the form most US wars take, after all.

Most people think Uncle Sam won WWII thanks to decades of propaganda by Hollywood.

Rethink your thesis.
