thread_title:  External links modified 

message: "SpaceX is currently developing a new spacecraft design that will, on all Earth-away launches, utilize the long-duration spacecraft (tanker or spaceship) to play a role briefly as the second stage of the launch vehicle to provide acceleration to orbital velocity.  This approach is an unusual design approach launch vehicles designed prior to the 2010s."
My guess the second sentence was intended to be 'This approach is an unusual design compared to launch vehicles conceived prior to the 2010s.' or similar.
In light of the previous "Staging propellants" section which already describes the basic concept, may I suggest the following replacement for both sentences?:
'SpaceX is currently developing a system in which a reusable first stage vehicle would transport a manned interplanetary spacecraft to earth orbit, detach, return to its launch pad where a tanker spacecraft would be mounted atop it, then both fueled, then launched again to rendezvous with the waiting manned spacecraft.  The tanker would then transfer its fuel to the manned spacecraft for use on its interplanetary voyage.'
I omitted the comment about this SpaceX system being relatively novel in part because I don't know how the concept evolved, and thus how much original inventiveness is attributable to SpaceX as opposed to others.  And my sense is that it's not an appropriate subject to try to parse in the context of the Interplanetary spaceflight article anyway.
Comments and refinements eagerly welcome of course.  If none after a few days I'll invoke the change.  --H Bruce Campbell (talk) 23:34, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

message: The Interplanetary Transport Network could have use in robotic/AI satellite exploration and for shipping supplies to human colonies on the planets. It may even have some use for human exploration/settlement with "sleeper ships." 
I'll leave it to folks who know more than I to add it to the main article.
