Factsheet: broken link
The following link [1], used in the reference called 'factsheet', is broken. Should I remove the reference? Negrulio (talk) 19:36, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
- It seems to be now at [2]. I did the change. Thanks. - BatteryIncluded (talk) 04:51, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
Stub-class?
Is this article really a stub?VirtualDave (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 00:28, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
- Done I vested it with a C-class. Cheers, BatteryIncluded (talk) 02:59, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
First US craft, or first craft?
The article states that "If successful, OSIRIS-REx will be the first US spacecraft to return samples from an asteroid." Have there been any successful non-US asteroid sample return missions? If so, what were they? -- 80.168.238.56 (talk) 10:42, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
- Ah -- I've just found the sample return mission article, which explains all. -- 80.168.238.56 (talk) 10:44, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
Category
Why is Category:OSIRIS-REx at the bottom of this article in red (saying the category does not exist)? (I just created the category.)--Solomonfromfinland (talk) 19:36, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
- Moot point. Category:OSIRIS-REx shows up fine. Probably just that the category was very new, so the system hadn't fully registered its existence.--Solomonfromfinland (talk) 23:38, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
Misleading wording "threatening asteroid"
From the article: "His name was chosen for this mission as asteroid Bennu is a threatening Earth impactor capable of causing vast destruction and death."
This is needlessly alarming to the lay reader. There is no serious threat from Bennu. The two references cited are fringe media.
