Talk:Mercury-Atlas 8

message: I'm not usually one to oppose added accuracy, but, do we really need the exact lat & long & mention of publication SP-12? Is this for general use, or for space geeks? (BTW, I might count myself 1...)  Trekphiler 12:21, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Exact location needed?

message: I have proposed that all Mercury missions are re-named. This will affect this page. So they can be discussed together on one page, I've set up a subpage of my user talk page for discussion of the moves. --GW_Simulations|User Page | Talk | Contribs | E-mail 20:39, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

message: I've removed these from the article (since I'm not sure how to work them into the text), but so we don't lose them: the landing was apparently at . Shimgray | talk | 00:32, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure these really add much for a solo mission, so for the moment I've removed them. I'm ambivalent on this, though - it is good to have them, for consistency. Shimgray | talk | 00:53, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

message: The links given for the four references were all broken, so I've replaced three of them. I couldn't find another link for First U.S. manned six-pass orbital mission, though - anyone know of one? Olaf Davis (talk) 21:06, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The links are broken because the NASA Technical Reports server is currently down for unplanned maintenance - it says "a week" as of the 24th, so hopefully they should be reinstated soon. (I deliberately preferred the PDFs over the HTML copies because it means page numbers were usable). I can put a copy of the PDF of this report online somewhere for you if you'd like.

replies: text: Ah, that makes sense. Sorry to blunder in and change things. Putting a pdf online would be great if you have one, thanks. Shall we leave the others as they are for now and switch back once the server's up? Olaf Davis (talk) 22:43, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Best approach, I think - it's here. If you'd like any of the others to check against, let me know, but the PDFs should be relatively self-evident to work with. Shimgray | talk | 22:52, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. If you do have the others and wouldn't mind uploading them it would make the page references easier to follow as you say. Olaf Davis (talk) 21:10, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

text: Talk about service! Thanks again. Just made a start on the review. Any idea if page 48 of Results is knocking about somewhere? Olaf Davis (talk) 22:24, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm guessing it's a blank page which was omitted - even numbers are left-hand pages, and new chapters begin on a (right-hand) odd number. Shimgray | talk | 22:29, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
