Frankly, I don't think of the USSR as an opponent, but rather as a back up system. I'm quite happy to see them in space, because if the US space effort should expire of internal causes (as the planetary science program has been close to doing), I'm glad to see the USSR still running its program. Politics is a transitory thing. In 500 years, I expect that more people will remember Yuri Gagarin and Neil Armstrong than will remember the ideologies of their nations. -Jeffrey Soreff (hplabs!soreff)
