Wasn't there an earlier observatory that crashed sometime in the '70s and Kuiper was a replacement for it? CFLeon ( talk) 20:46, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
I'm fascinated by this idea - does anyone have any idea how they managed to obtain clear images from a moving, vibtrating aircraft? I think that would be a useful addition to the article. 217.155.152.138 ( talk) 09:03, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

The article currently contains the excerpt "The KAO flew mostly out of Moffett Field, but also flew out of New Zealand, Australia, American Samoa, Panama, Japan, Guam, Brazil, Ecuador, Chile, Houston (Texas), and Hawaii." This lists entire countries alongside territories and specific states of America. This is inconsistent. If country-level precision is good enough, we should use it consistently. If state-level precision is needed for any one item in the list (in this case Texas, America) then the same precision applies to all the other items in the list (which provinces and territories in NZ? Which states and territories in Australia? Which districts in Panama? Which prefectures in Japan? Which states in Brazil? Which provinces in Ecuador? Which regions in Chile?)
It's like an article claiming "Carbon can be found in watermelons, grapefruit, oranges and the seeds from apples, the skin of apples, the stalk of apples and the flesh of apples" instead of simply saying "Carbon can be found in watermelons, grapefruit, oranges and apples". 49.195.120.227 ( talk) 04:11, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
