The Los Angeles Times discussed the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project mission in an editorial: At the instant the Apollo and Soyuz docked, "the two ships ceased to' be two and became one. And at that moment, the common fate of the five adventurers was indissolubly linked for the next 44 hours, symbolic of the shared destiny of the 4 billion passengers on the mother spaceship 140 miles below." That the passengers were from two different countries was of no significance. "They communicated in each other's language, and they saw the lovely blue earth across the vistas of space through the same eyes, with the same perception. It is a vision that is desperately needed by earthbound statesmen." (LA Times, 18 July 75)
