message: James, what did you mean by "switch to image markup which doesn't result in a completely invisible image"? As far as I can see, the  markup is the proper format for displaying it like that and I could see the image just fine on the rendered page.  Bryan 04:36, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)

text: As far as I'm aware, the wiki markup I'm using here is intended to be the "wave of the future" for Wikipedia; it's the hot new thing for floating images. If there's a problem with how IE4 displays it, I think that should be marked down as a bug report. Bryan 06:47, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)

message: Last year there was some news story to say that NASA has purchased the russian's video and photo archive of Lunokhod imagery and using computer enhancement to gain several thousand new high quality on-site photos of the lunar surface. This should probably get in the article.
Also why there is no mention of the "KGB midget" hoax in the article?

::Why is there no mention of the KGB midget? Because it is a bunch of bullcrap and it is not encyclopedic.

message: I have read that Lunokhod 2 took pictures of the Apollo 17 landing site, but I can't find those pictures anywhere on the 'net. Does anybody know where I can find them? I want to show them to a friend of mine who beleives in the Apollo conspiracy theories. The Soviets would have loved to prove the Apollo missions were hoaxed (which is possibly why they visited the site in the first place) so the fact that a Soviet probe photographed the site kinda proves that the Apollo missions were not faked. So if anyone can find those pictures for me, it'd be great, and perhaps they can be put on this article if they're licensed correctly.

message: The engineers behind the Lunokhod also worked on remote controlled vehicles used to clean up after the Chernobyl disaster as well as consultants for the Sojourner (rover) and Mars Exploration Rover. Should this go into the article? // Liftarn (talk)

thread_title:  Legacy 

message: A few years ago I ran across a website about a project to apply modern computer technology to the tapes used to record the video images from the Lunokhod rovers. The images published in the 70's were made by photographing low-resolution video monitors, but the images transmitted were recorded at their full resolution on magnetic tape. The site showed a few images made directly from the tapes, next to the originally published images. The new ones were at least twice as good as the originals.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bizzybody (talk • contribs) 06:16, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Any preference for language in the article?  I just undid a rather sudden and unexplained switch to UK English. Discussion and consensus on what people really want would be helpful. --Lexein (talk) 10:12, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: WP:ENGVAR says that unless an article has close ties to British or American English, it should remain in whatever form the article was created with. This article has been using American English, so it should continue to do so.  Stepho  talk  12:25, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I belatedly noticed the title: "Lunokhod "Programme" - so presumably the consensus will also result in a definitive naming decision. --Lexein (talk) 14:10, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Also found American style dates and 'laborers'. WP:ENGVAR says the article should be consistent but this one could be a toss of the coin - as long as it is by consensus. Note: I'm Australian, so I personally prefer British English but I'm not going to force my own preferences onto the situation.  Stepho  talk  22:12, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Since others might wonder or even try to add that incident in the future, here is what I know: 
Today I found out that the "Sandmännchen incident" probably is untrue (a myth). Here is the Sandmännchen incident as I have read it in several places on the Interent over the years (and some background too):
Back in the 1970s the East German Sandmännchen stop motion animation TV programme was very popular in eastern Europe and also in parts of western Europe. The animators wanted to make an episode where the Sandman went to space. So they sent a letter to the Soviet space program asking for advice. In return they got a letter from the Soviet engineers including a set of detailed drawings of the Lunokhod lander and rover. So they built that and aired that TV episode. (To see good images from that episode search the web for "Sandmännchen Lunochod".) Imagine the surprise of the bosses of the Soviet space program when they saw their top secret (not yet published and launched) space system on prime time children's TV. Thankfully they realised it was good publicity so they didn't send the engineers to Siberia.
I was surprised to not find anything about the "Sandmännchen incident" in this article. I have heard about that incident several times. (And I saw that Sandman TV episode as a kid and loved it!) So I also checked the Sandmännchen article. And also checked both articles in German Wikipedia too. And all their talk pages. But no mention of the incident. 
So I did some web searching and found out that the Sandman incident probably is a myth. This article (in what seems to be the official Sandmännchen web site) states that that TV episode was aired in 1973. Since the first succesfull Lunokhod landing was in 1970 I assume the Soviets published news about Lunokhod well before that TV episode aired. 
Anyway, thanks for a very nice article. --David Göthberg (talk) 12:17, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
