Lunar south pole region

[edit]

The lunar south pole region is from 80S to 90S latitude. There is an entry that claims that India made the first soft landing in the region. However the latitude of the landing location is 69S. So is this claim valid? If anything, IM-1's Odysseus landed a little bit south of 80S, it would be the first to have soft landed in lunar south pole region. 69.181.229.133 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 22:15, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Earliest born female suborbital in the Age section redundant

[edit]

The entry for Wally Funk's flight on NS-16 seems to be redundant (or if not that, then meaningless), since Valentina Tereshkova flew an orbital flight (Vostok 6) about six decades earlier, and was born almost two years before Wally. A suborbital flight record is only meaningful as a stepping stone, when an orbital flight of the same nature has not already been achieved. 74.83.1.69 (talk) 04:34, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Crew Transfer

[edit]

Would it be justifiable to have two Crew Transfer records? The first would be between two occupied crewed spacecraft via spacewalk (Soyuz 4 and 5). The second would be using a docking tunnel between two docked crew-capable spacecraft (Apollo 9).

Apollo 9 was also the first time astronauts spent time in a crewed spacecraft not designed to enter Earth's atmosphere while not being docked to a vehicle designed to do so. AmigaClone (talk) 05:10, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect attribution of Walter Villadei to ESA

[edit]

For the section "Total human spaceflight time by country" it appears that Walter Villadei's time is counted for ESA, even though he is not actually representing ESA. 213.89.117.57 (talk) 16:54, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Does Space Shuttle Orbiter not count as "stage"?

[edit]

Multiple records are counted by Falcon 9 as "rocket stage" that are exceeded/preceded by the Space Shuttle Orbiter. Ehurtley (talk) 21:24, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
