Can you use 1-op cards meaningfully on the space race except Nazi scientist?
Last game I was USSR and had that 1 op card where the US can choose one uncontrolled European country and remove all USSR influence from it and I had put six into West Germany and was so scared I'd lose them that I wanted to use it to space race instead. All my three and four op US cards were much milder.
(In the game, I used the China card to make West Germany controlled, so I next round could play that 1 op safely, used that operation to help me in Europe and opponent had Europe scoring as his last round card while I had control, which ended the game then and there.)

The only thing you can do with 1 op cards and the Space race is discard them once you get past Space Wallk.
...unless you've played another card previously giving you a +1 to all ops points?
