Very interesting. Smiley I'll hopefully be reading in the future, should this continue.

First off, even if our Pluto and Charon are this timeline's moons of Venus, it highly unlikely that they would be named Pluto and Charon.  Assuming that they aren't discovered until Galileo starts to scan the sky with his telescope, then one possible pair of names would be Lucifer and Vesper, which are the Latin names for the Morning Star and Evening Star respectively before the Ancients realized that they were the same celestial object.

I rather like those names better than Pluto and Charon.

I'm just going to guess that this means America's attention span is held on space at least a little bit longer (if not a lot more so) than in real life.
