[edit] Invalid source
last (5th) external link is
- ↑ 404 error. URL accessed on 2006-03-20.
what was is supposed to be? Camicio 21:39, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
- What I can make up from the URL this was supposed to be a news item for the Chinese craft that is expected to launch in 2007. CNN has a newer and more complete article at http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/space/03/12/china.space/index.html. So maybe we could use that one instead. BaseLine 13:18, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lunar Exploration
It would be nice if this page could contain a list of every spacecraft sent towards the moon. The name would kind of suggest that that's what the purpose would be. Tuvas 16:31, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps replicating some of the information from ([1]) or from ([[2]]). Any other sensible sources? Redfoxtx 10:13, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- I have created a page Robotic exploration of the Moon listing all missions. Lunokhod 17:46, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Galileo
The Galileo flybys need to be mentioned under recent exploration. These returned useful scientific data. Lunokhod 17:48, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Future lunar missions
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of the merge. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the merge was rename: Future lunar missions -> List of future lunar missions
I think the article Future lunar missions would be better as a subsection of this article. Much of the information is already here anyway, making Future lunar missions somewhat redundant. Mlm42 13:31, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- What if we rename the "future lunar missions" page to "list of future lunar missions"? Lunokhod 13:40, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- I still think that such a page would be a list of (this is a guess) less than twenty missions, with short summaries and links to the main articles. So why not just include this list directly in the Future missions section of Exploration of the Moon? If Exploration of the Moon gets too big, then we can split off the future missions list as a separate page.. but until then i think we will just be creating an unneccessary redundancy. Mlm42 13:54, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- I only use "future lunar missions" as a list in order to find out what will be launched and when. Its not clear to me that if you merge this with "exploration of the moon" that people will know where to find this information. I have nothing against duplicated all this material in "exploration of the Moon", but the self contained list is useful (to some at least) as well. In any case, I don't feel too strongly about this. I'll put an advert on the Moon project and see if we can get some more opinions. Lunokhod 16:02, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- The difficulty with duplicate material is that it requires maintainence in two places. Could the future lunar missions list be a sub-page, transcluded into the exploration of the moon page? Sdsds 20:23, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Transclusion stops the watch function working properly - e.g. the problem with portals. sbandrews 14:31, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- Then maybe the rename: Future lunar missions -> List of future lunar missions makes sense. The section of Exploration of the Moon could then start with {{Seealso | List of future lunar missions}}, and it's clear that if an editor just wants to add a list entry, without providing much supporting text, that's the place to do it.

[edit] U.S. view of space race
Thank-you to all the prior editors who have made the space race section of this article so unbiased. That is great! From a U.S. perspective, the Kennedy speech is really a pivotal moment, so I've added a few sentences about that. I also re-ordered the description of events to be more chronological. Are those changes are OK with everyone? Sdsds 10:28, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Not everyone will agree with it.
