Isn't it a bit odd that the mostly Protestant Anglophone world still uses the Latin and the Hispanophone world apparently doesn't?

Name: Comodor Julián Capani
Country: Argentina
Spaceraft: Martín Fierro
Year: 1973
First words: "Esta hazaña nunca habría podido lograrse sin un lider que defendiera la soberanía política, la independencia económica, y la justicia social en la gloriosa nación Argentina como lo ha hecho, hace y hará por siempre el General Perón".
Free translation: "This great accomplishment would never have been possible if we haven't had a leader as our glorious General Peron, who has zealously defended, defends and will defend forever the political souveraignity and the economic independence of The Glorius Argentinian Nation, a well as the applicatrions of the principels of social justice."
From an ATL in which Von Braun comes to Argentina instead than going to the US (as well as Kurt Tank and other minor German scientists, who did came in OTL), and in which there is a nuclear war in 1953/4, which severely damages Europe, the URSS and North America. Argentina, instead, benefits from the rise of wheat prices and the influx of a new way of highly trained immigrants.
(Just for thew record, I don't like Perón at all, I don't look foward to the destruction of Europe or North America, and this is far from my idea of an ATL in which things goes well for my country)

Name of the first man on the Moon: John Williams
Country who put him there:
Name of spacecraft: Selene
His first words: Here we stand on the threshold of the conquest of space
The year: January 1 1990
These words were spoken by the leader of the Euro-American-Nippon Corporate Alliance ship Selene. One of the most astounding part of this great endeavor was not that man kind made it to the moon, although that is an amazing feat in it self. The feat that turn the world's government and their respective space programs on their head was that the entire project was funded by an alliance of private companies in secret.
No more will mankind progress be hindered by cowardly governments and their incompetent space programs. NASA being a prime example. Despite being the best funded it has barely managed to put 5 people in space in the last 5 years with a 50% death ratio over the course of their space program's history. In addition for half the cost the Corporate Alliance managed to put up three times the number of satellites as NASA did. they had their chances. The government space programs had their biggest wakeup call when the Boeing-Toyota space station went up. they chose to ignore it. We cannot trust our future to these hard headed bureaucrats who refuse to listen to anything not wrapped in a mile of red tape. It is up to us to crave out a future in the stars.
