Template:Vital article

There is a request, submitted by Craigboy (talk), for an audio version of this article to be created. For further information, see WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia.

The rationale behind the request is: "Important article, old recording is eight years old and very outdated".

A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on October 1, 2004, October 1, 2005, October 1, 2006, July 29, 2008, July 29, 2009, July 29, 2010, July 29, 2013, and July 29, 2016.

Text and/or other creative content from NASA was copied or moved into List of NASA aircraft with this edit. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

Revived Moon Base plans

Maybe the recent reveal of a joint US/Russia Effort to build a space station orbiting the moon should go somewhere?

or is it too soon?

CRS listed among manned programs

Why is the subsection Commercial Resupply Services (2006–present) listed in the section Manned programs? It is the only program listed there not involving crew flight, contrary to its section title. Keavon (talk) 12:12, 14 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The short answer is that it supports the ISS, which is a manned program; it wouldn't really fit to just stick this with the "unmanned programs" section as it is currently written, all containing what are actually robotic space probes meant to explore space without crew. You've uncovered a problem with the way the article is structured. Unmanned spacecraft consisted historically of space probes, but in the age of the space station now includes unmanned support vehicles, and also space tugs (transfer vehicles).
