Talk:Clementine probe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Did they see the Apollos' remains with the hi-res camera?

• Actualy, even with Clementines hi-resolution camera, it still couldn't see objects the size of the lunar landers. Just for the record, the Moon Landings weren't faked. :) The QBasicJedi 17:32, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Lost and Gone forever"

"The project was named Clementine after the song "Oh my Darlin' Clementine" as the spacecraft would be "lost and gone forever" following it's mission."

I always thought that they named it Clementine because that song was a mining song from the Gold Rush days, and similiarly, Clementine would be "prospecting" for things on the Moon. I can't remember where I heard this, though.The QBasicJedi 17:16, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Launch date

Now, I'm currently very tired, as I haven't slept much lately, so I couldn't really focus on searching too intently for it, but I couldn't find mention of a launch date anywhere in the article. Is it just me and my tiredness, or has this article really overlooked that? The QBasicJedi 17:29, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cause of malfunction?

Article should state what exactly was the malfunction that caused the 11 minute burn and wrecked phase 2. Software bug? Stuck valve? Meters to feet conversion problem? (ouch, sorry) Tempshill 02:52, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
