message: That was probably added by a Trekkie... anyway, the Space Shuttle Enterprise is real, the VSS Enterprise is real, but Star Trek's Enterprise is not.

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:Space Ship 2 Jan 2008.jpg

message: I question the relevance of the paragraph of information about William Shatner to an article on the first article, the development ship, of a series of space craft of the design type SpaceShipTwo.  Does anyone have a good argument of why this is sufficiently noteworthy to be in the article?  And if so, why this article and not the SpaceShipTwo article, since it is by no means clear that article one (VSS Enterprise) would be the only passenger-carrying craft when the commercial operation eventually gets underway?  Failing to find a sufficient notability, I'll plan to remove it from the article in a few weeks.  N2e (talk) 04:16, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Star Trek References 

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 :VSS Enterprise'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 "Fg20091027ww2":
From SpaceShipTwo: 
From Virgin Galactic: 
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⚡ 20:06, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

message: Is there a reason why the table is in reverse chronological order instead of regular chronological order? -- 70.24.244.158 (talk) 07:35, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I got confused by this too. Especially as the article for VMS Eve has its own "Flights" table in regular chronological order. At the very least, the two articles should have their tables in the same order. Perhaps someone from WikiProject_Spaceflight can advise on the correct convention for test flight lists. Big Mac (talk) 09:44, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: "List of test flights"

message: I have changed the wording under 'Crash' from 'On 31 October 2014, Enterprise exploded over the desert in California' to read 'broke up' instead of 'exploded'. There is currently no evidence from an explosion, all we know is that an anomaly occurred that caused the craft to break up, after apparently flipping over so it was flying backwards. This could have potentially been caused by an explosion but I feel break-up is currently a more appropriate term than explosion.  Blueb0g (talk) 23:44, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I concur.  I imagine the article got the other word in it from some early reports, made by folks who were on the ground 12 to 18 miles away from the incident in the high-altitude air.  The NTSB press briefing late on 1 Nov 2014 Pacific Time was clear about the in-fight breakup; but nothing was said about an explosion (which is generally defined as a supersonic velocity flame front on the ignition of a fuel/oxygen mixture).  So I think your edit was the right way to go.  N2e (talk) 03:10, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

message: What about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_13?
It was both a spacecraft-related accident and crew members survived (all of them in fact).
:Just changed sentence to "This was the first spacecraft-related accident in which part, but not all, of the crew survived." That is, I believe, correct. Gildir (talk) 15:57, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: My guess what was meant that in this case the capsule was destroyed. Apollo 13 though serious, it was not "destroyed". Still your wording is correct. OkayKenji (talk page) 05:59, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
