Talk:2006 in spaceflight

message: Does that mean "We haven't heard anything went wrong" or "We know that it is working as of now" ?  Military and Chinese satellites will often have nothing in the public domain about failures.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.177.23.132 (talk) 08:52, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I was wondering why the the spaceloft XL suborbital flights are included in this list. They go into space with regards to altitude but don't achieve orbital speeds. If you include such suborbital flights you also have to include other sounding rocket flights (such as Maxtor) and ICBM test launches, IMHO.
::Sub-orbital is not a disqualifying factor - the advice on WP:LSY is to include anything that crosses, or is intended to cross, the Karmain line. The only reason there are no other sub-orbital flights is because the main reference of these missions only goes up to 2005. If you can find information on other sub-orbital flights, then there is no problem with adding them. There are sub-orbital flights in some of the older articles, such as the early '60s, etc. --GW_SimulationsUser Page | Talk 19:22, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Is this text necessary?

message: I am in the process of modifying this article to be centred around the spacecraft rather than the rocket. Please do not edit whilst this is in progress. --GW_Simulations|User Page | Talk | Contribs | E-mail 12:54, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Major edit 

message: A number of 2007 launches are creeping into the table.  I don't have the spare time right now, but if someone else hasn't beaten me to it over the next four hours I'll move the offending entries into the 2007 table.  Daen 09:45, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've moved three entries to the 2007 page. I didn't move the AMC-14 launch to the 2007 page (it was written in the table as 2007) because quite a few sites (example) say that AMC-14 is due to launch in August (with date TBC). I can't actually find any sources that say that the launch will be in 2007, but if someone can find a recent source, please feel free to move the AMC-14 launch to the 2007 page.

thread_title: 2007 launches

message: I'm not too happy about this being listed as a "spacecraft failure", because the spacecraft performed well, but could not return imagery because of a dispute between the US Navy and NRO. Seeing as the spacecraft operated correctly for its anticipated lifetime, can we consider it a successful flight despite the politics? --GW… 00:11, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
