I've added several charming space missions--explorers and Earth satellites--to my friends list recently. One of the things about LiveJournal is, of course, that my friends have friends--this is how I found most of these far-flung LJers.
So I was reading![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
venera14's journal. She wasn't sure whether she should be talking to Westerners and capitalists, but decided that it couldn't really do any harm for "an old probe to live out its last days in discourse with like minded friends." mars3 is a lot more political, but assured her that "As for sharing information, is only benefits the Soviet People. By co-operating with the imperialist Americans, the world's population shall see how benevolent the Glorious Socialist Cause truly is and will be more eager to welcome it into their lives."
I basically agreed withmars3 on the advantages of sharing data and said so. But this has led me (via the practicalities of transmitting the True Knowledge to Venus) to wondering about the practicality of building socialism on one planet.
