I removed "*2005 - Space Shuttle Discovery launches in the Return to Flight program." because it hasn't launched yet and though it almost certainly will successfully, this isn't something we should jump the gun on. Christiant 17:31, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

I'm glad I removed it; the launch was postponed until at least Saturday. - Christiant 01:35, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

Now I said it had been delayed. Why did you remove it?

I removed it, and for the most obvious of reasons: a shuttle NOT launching is not the least bit notable. --Calton | Talk 13:41, July 23, 2005 (UTC)

Removed "great high school graduate" - doesn't seem to be to be appropriate under births anyway...Broux
