What if two colossal space stations appeared near 1950s Earth that can generate portals to six different sci-fi universes?

Let's set the scene, at the beginning of the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union, the world was taken aback by the sudden appearance of two colossal space stations near Earth. These stations were each controlled by a highly advanced AI, fiercely loyal to its respective user, and were manned by robots that kept every aspect of the station in perfect order. The stations were massive, with dimensions that exceeded any other man-made structure on Earth, measuring 3,000 meters in width and 3,000 meters in length. The station won't allow anyone to enter the portals unless the "user" allows it. Even then it was a temporary trap the ship or ships to scan for any weapons and the possibility of it being a threat where if it was considered a threat would launch the ship or ships back to their native universe unless the "user'' stops it.

The station that has destinated the nation of the United States as its user has a modern and sleek design, with clean lines and futuristic features that conveyed confidence and power. Its appearance was striking, and a picture of the station shows an impressive structure that looks almost otherworldly. This station had a portal generator that could open a portal into three different sci-fi universes who has only one portal connecting our universe similar to the tv show "Stargate SG1":

1. Star Trek: Enterprise (2001) in the Sol system.

2. The Expanse (2015) in the Sol system.

3. Mobile Suit Gundam (1979) in the Sol system.

All set five years before the events of their respective series.

On the other hand, the station that destinated the nation of the Soviet Union as its user has a more utilitarian and industrial appearance, focusing on functionality and efficiency. Despite its no-frills appearance, it is no less impressive than its counterpart, with a size that dwarfed even the largest structures on Earth. This station also had a portal generator that could open a portal into three different sci-fi universes who has only one portal connecting our universe similar to the tv show "Stargate SG1":

1. Babylon 5 (1993) in the Sol System.

2. Firefly (2002) near the planet of Persephone.

3. The Super Dimension Fortress Macross (1982) in the Sol system.

All set five years before the events of their respective series.

How would everyone react?

I think Star Trek and Macross are the most advanced, but Firefly and The Expanse would be the ones most willing to share. It seems likely that both the USA and the USSR will be taken over by soft power from the space factions.
