[edit] Experiments on the moon

I move that the second sentence of the third paragraph, "While on the Moon he conducted unauthorized ESP experiments", be followed with the notation "[citation needed]". Would anyone care to second? Austinlwyman4 06:20, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

This is the kind of thing that doesn't really need a discussion - just be bold and add the tag. If someone objects, then is the time to discuss.

I've gone ahead and added the tag myself, since I agree this is questionable. I believe that he did some experiments during an Apollo mission; but I'm not sure they were done on the moon, given the cramped conditions and limited (and very scheduled) time of the landing module. -- John Broughton (☎☎) 15:16, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Importance rating

I've rated this article as a High-importance class, because the rarity of his Moonwalk and the importance that Project Apollo and early human spaceflight has to human history. I also rated this a Stub article. I really can't believe the poor state and quality of many of the articles relating to the Apollo-era moonwalkers. I'll likely add more information and try to bring this article to a B-Class by mid-March.Abebenjoe 22:39, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
