[edit] Cut-off sentence

The second paragraph has this as the last sentence:

On this mission it was planned that Dave Scott would spent

It ends just as it appears above. How was it supposed to end? —Frecklefoot 21:58, 12 Nov 2003 (UTC)


Thanks for pointing that out to me. I was planning to find out how long he was to spend outside the spacecraft once I'd written the article but forgot. - enceladus

[edit] Various issues

  • Rendezvous and Docking paragraph 3, the last sentence begins "He started to slowly..." He who? My guess is Armstrong but aren't sure enough to make the change
  • The Spin Reference to Gemini 7 - I assume this should be 8? Also, the phrase "turn off" used in this section is confusing. I assume this has a particular technical meaning, but if so it isn't obvious to the casual reader. It should be either replaced with something more obvious or at least explained what it means. --Ewan 23:28, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing out those two errors - it is a while since I wrote the article. Not sure how the Gemini 7 error slipped through. Evil Monkey∴Hello 10:41, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)
