Talk:William Anders

message: I removed the two sentences that claimed, "However according to one article his outlook on religion changed profoundly after his participation in the Apollo 8 mission. He found his experience of space made a mockery of his beliefs and he gave up religion.[1]"  This statement is completely unfounded. I explain:
1.  The contributors sole reference is from the UK Guardian newspaper: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2008/nov/30/apollo-8-mission .  I have read that article 3 or 4 times.  While this article is very interesting and fascinating, nowhere does it state any factual evidence that Anders rejected or questioned his own religion.  None of his quotes reflect this.  Only an unreferenced and unproven editorially enhanced biography at the end of the article.    
2, I could find no other sources that could possibly confirm the claim that Anders rejected or otherwise questioned the religion of his birth, or even suggestions thereto. 
3.  At the risk of belaboring the obvious, it is highly unlikely that someone who qualified in the NASA missile program and reached Major General in the United States Air Force would issue or utter such an incredible and frankly unbelievable statement.  
That said, if contributors can locate refuting data -- hopefully from personal references and not from questionable and highly notoriously socially biased newspapers such as "The Guardian" -- I will happily stand corrected.

message: This part needs clarifying: 'they then returned to China'. In 1933 Hong Kong was a British colony, so not part of China (geographically, but not politically). So did they go back to Hong Kong (as is suggested by 'returned'? Or did they go to a different part of geographic China? 109.152.55.81 (talk) 08:00, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

message: 'Due to time dilation, he had aged about 300 microseconds more than people back on Earth." a fun tidbit, but just curious, since the crew was going so fast, wouldn't that mean the crew had aged a tiny bit LESS than those on Earth? 137.188.108.54 (talk) 18:29, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
