Talk:Space Shuttle program

message: Yes, this patch is much prettier than the program's official logo, but we are not in the business of historical revisionism. It merits inclusion in the article, but should go in its own section where it is made clear it was the winner of a contest. The space program infobox is intended to display the program's logo.

message: I am unsure how to correct the grammar in this sentence, as its meaning is unclear: "One impact of Columbia was that one the future launch vehicles planned to go into operation after the Shuttle program was concluded, was that Ares I had a special emphasis on crew safety compared to other considerations".125.236.202.112 (talk) 01:58, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

message: There is a section on Support vehicles - Suggest we add or reference the STS ground infrastructure too - eg the launchpad developments eg Rotating Support Structure, and the orbiter processing facilities. - Rod57 (talk) 11:01, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

message: In the 'Accidents' section there's an unexplained and unreferenced sentence portion which reads: "...and some fatal accidents on the ground during launch preparations". Unclear as to how many Shuttle personnel died in 'fatal accidents on the ground' (well, "some") and what type of fatal accidents occurred. Randy Kryn (talk) 11:36, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Space Shuttle program's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Artemis home":
From Orion (spacecraft): 
From Artemis program: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 00:30, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

message: Regarding edit 19:12, May 6, 2020 "Space Shuttle program" ‎ →‎Columbia 2003: After a conversation about the shuttle Columbia disaster, I looked it up on Wikipedia (“Space Shuttle Program”).  But unfortunately, in section "Columbia 2003," the explanation for its disintegration during reentry cannot be true:  “The accident began when a piece of foam shed from the external tank struck the leading edge of the orbiter's left wing, puncturing one of the reinforced carbon-carbon (RCC) panels that covered the wing edge and protected it during re-entry.”  All tanks are shed even before achieving earth orbit and most certainly long before reentry.  But with a little tweaking, the sentence was made to make sense (“The genesis of the accident occurred”).  It’s time to don my editing hat.
Minor Edit:  The word “began,” replaced by “genesis,” makes no mention that the cause of the damage to the wing happened many hours prior to shuttle Columbia’s demise
The reason for my edit was that, as it stood, the sentence made it seem like the foam hit the tile at the same time the accident occurred on reentry.  Which of course was impossible since the external tank had long since been ejected.  A simple rewording of said description will hopefully dispel any notion that the carbon tiles were damaged from a source (the external tank) that was not even present at the time of the ship’s disintegration.

message: I think most readers would agree that when a mission is a ‘partial failure’ at the very least (most of) the crew managed to make it back alive. Yes, technically it was a partial failure because since it happened on re-entry some objectives were reached, but the impression it gives is very misleading; I would perhaps even call it lying with the truth. I also note that on the Space Shuttle article the mission is classified as a failure.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.61.180.106 (talk) 11:15, 12 February 2021 (UTC)
