obviously. Is this a good-faith nomination? This nomination was http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Ncisss '''the very first edit''' of nominator. The  guideline is directed against (I quote) ''unverifiable speculation''. It is not against future events per se, but states: ''expected future events should only be included if the event is notable and almost certain to take place.'' Is this notable? Again from the guideline: ''the subject matter must be of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article if the event had already occurred.'' All of this is satisfied. Is this almost certain to take place? You bet. There is no requirement anywhere that notability requires that independent reliable sources ''claim'' notability. Please don't confuse the notability guidelines with the  policy, which is about verifiability. The NASA link is a reliable and totally authoritative source, and provides quite satisfactory verification. &nbsp
