[edit] Merge

This article seems to be an aspect of the Ares I article and the info here should be merged with that article.Wikidudeman ^(talk) 01:53, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

• Agree. It is far too early in the process to be breaking each launch into a separate article. Once the program is closer to an actual launch it may be warranted, but for now this content could be merged into the parent article or perhaps broken into a subarticle titled something like List of Ares 1 missions. --StuffOfInterest 18:25, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose. The Ares I-1 flight is not a flight of an Ares I vehicle. The Ares I-X vehicle is quite different. This article should focus on the Ares I-X vehicle and the Ares I-1 flight, and the Ares I article should defer descriptions of these to this article. (sdsds - talk) 04:37, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

I've pulled the tags. The 1-X article seems to be far enough along to stand, and there appears to be general agreement that it deserves a separate page. --StuffOfInterest 15:00, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ares I-X

I agree. This page should be merged with the Ares I listing, however, it's name should be changed to Ares I-X. Spectreman75 18:22, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

The name change is another good example of why it is too early to break out each flight into a separate article. --StuffOfInterest 18:25, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Is it really a name change? Or is Ares I-X the vehicle (with an upper stage simulator) that will be used for the Ares I-1 test flight? (sdsds - talk) 02:26, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

After listening to a briefing broadcast on NASA-TV today, I have updated the article to reflect this nomenclature, which seems consistent with that used by the presenters. (sdsds - talk) 04:34, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

We are now only 20 months away from this mission, therefore I think it justifies its own article. Hektor 19:56, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Hektor. With all the other Ares missions it is still too far off, but this one is getting pretty close now. Besides, I've seen mission pages with less info than this one, and the program is only going to get more important from here on in (presuming they don't cancel it). Plus STS-130 isn't happening for a little while yet, and that's got an article. Tom walker 07:33, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Hektor. It is a mission, not a article about the rocket. Keep both articles separate.--Abebenjoe 17:43, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
