==Questions about name of Luna 1/Lunik I== (by Laudaka 11:26, 26 Jan 2004 (UTC) ) I have a question. Was the space craft call Lunik by the Russians? And why is it called Luna 1 by English speaking people? Does Lunik mean Moon in Russian?

And in the text I see "Luna 1 (Russian: Lunik I | Space Rocket I)". What does the pipe (|) means? What is the Space Rocket I doing there?

Thanks in advance for answering.

There is no such word in Russian as "Lunik" (I'm Russian). "Luna" is a Russian word for moon, and all spacecrafts were named such. I'm correcting this. Int19h 04:05, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

==Question about if in the text there should be Luna x or Lunik x== (by Laudaka 11:26, 26 Jan 2004 (UTC)) In the text of Luna 1, Luna 2, Luna 3, etc. I see sometimes Lunik x and sometimes Luna x. I'm in the process of changing all those to Luna x. I suppose it makes most sense to use the name by which it was called in newspapers. Does anybody know whether it was called Luna x or Lunik x in the newspapers? (I wasn't born yet so I'm not sure :-P ) Thanks in advance for answering.

[edit] Over the Indian ocean?

The cloud of sodium gas may have been over the Indian ocean briefly, but it couldn't have been there indefinitely since it was at the wrong distance for a geostationary orbit. --P3d0 13:21, Sep 14, 2004 (UTC)
