Please quote correctly. There is no point in having a quote saying "Oh <profanity>, I've broken the <profanity> thing!" when the whole quote is about <profanity>. In this case, substituting <profanity> for the actual profanity is hypocritical. If you feel that some readers will be offended by that profanity, omit the quote. If you feel it is important for the article, do not mutilate the quote. IMHO, nobody will be hurt by the correct quote. -- Tob 14:52, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
How do I find information on creating succession boxes? I'd like to link Apollo/Gemini/Mercury/Skylab/Apollo-Soyuz to each flight, for example, Apollo 15 and 17 for the Apollo 16 article. I've hunted in edit but it is not immediately obvious where it is. GBC 18:11, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
"As a photograph, it could not be interpreted as 'art'" -- huh? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.235.7.36 ( talk) 10:22, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
... and let's all agree that it could use a re-write with some better organization. To my eye, it's disjointed. 68Kustom ( talk) 00:06, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
I don't think it is a mission of wikipedia to spread profanities people said 30 years during off-color moments. This may even be a WP:COI There is almost no detail of the science conducted on the mission, or what the results were of that science. The whole page needs to be scrapped and rewritten.

In response to this discussion I have: added a [citation needed] tag to the quote, since it can't stay without a cited reliable source, and down-graded the article from B-class to C-class for WikiProject Space because the article does not adequately cover the topics mentioned above. (That said, there doesn't seem to be any evidence the low quality of this article results from what wikipedians call a "conflict of interest". It might result from one or more wikipedia editors having poor judgement about what should be included, but that isn't the meaning usually given to "COI" in wikipedia discussions!)

A large piece was just returned to NASA. Since I am not exactly the most competent editor, I shall defer this to one who is better. Ethelred Cyning ( talk) 01:55, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
I'm not sure if I'm missing something obvious, but on what date did the craft return to Earth? -- Chickenfeed9 16:08, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
We could use another sentence or two about the sub-satellite: it's intended function and purpose and whether it achieved any of it. Thanks. CountMacula ( talk) 16:50, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
I'm wondering why the article doesn't mention that they used mortars for ground sounding? That seems like important news, firing a military weapon off planet. 98.240.135.248 ( talk) 06:36, 10 May 2015 (UTC)Fryboy11
While including a link to the surface experiments certainly couldn't hurt, it's a huge mischaracterization to say it was "firing a military weapon off planet". These are not the same type of mortars that are used in warfare. These sit on the ground and are set off to set up vibrations in the surface. Those vibrations are recorded, and can be used by geologists to determine various soil and rock characteristics. It's one of the techniques used here on Earth to find oil.
