• 02:4102:41, 12 January 2018 diff hist +642 STS-107 Adding STS-27 wing damage to the lede, as it has strong similarity.
• 02:3302:33, 12 January 2018 diff hist +545 STS-27 The lede was not adequately explaining the severe threat that this damage posed to the crew. Now rewritten to more accurately convey the potential for catastrophic failure, to include the commander's belief that they were going to die. w/Reference.

• 00:2100:21, 7 January 2018 diff hist +356 John Young (astronaut) This sentence is in need of a NOTE to explain why Pete Conrad is not identified as being first, given all the caveats that this statement was constructed with. Nails67 raised this question (Talk, Aug2011) and deserves more discussion.

• 19:5719:57, 6 January 2018 diff hist +4 John Young (astronaut) For a statement about flying, it is fitting to use flying terminology. No aviator says "I flew alone." They say "I flew solo." It is a specific term with a specific meaning. You can be "alone" in your own craft while in formation with others, which he was

• 15:1115:11, 20 December 2017 diff hist +13 Alan Shepard Rewording to make it clear that suborbital flight was not the result of some kind of failure. The mission was planned this way, being a limitation of US capabilities at the time.
• 15:0715:07, 20 December 2017 diff hist +55 Apollo–Soyuz Both sides had bias in the mission name: "Soyuz-Apollo" to the Soviets. Cosmonauts even wore the patch: Союз-Apollo. Red-Left / Blue-Right orientation is shown in various images through this article. There were Союз-Аполлон cigarettes even!
• 14:2914:29, 20 December 2017 diff hist +179 Wright Brothers National Memorial Including a more salient disambiguation. Switching to manually controlled formatting.
• 13:2213:22, 20 December 2017 diff hist +41 Apollo command and service module Moving this info to after the Skylab/ASTP statement, for better chronology.
• 13:1113:11, 20 December 2017 diff hist −1 Apollo command and service module Correction.
• 13:0813:08, 20 December 2017 diff hist +59 Apollo command and service module If we're going to total the flights where it carried astronauts to the Moon, it would be good to not ignore the other five flights where it also flew astronauts onboard.
• 12:5912:59, 20 December 2017 diff hist +4 Apollo command and service module Tweaking the wording to respect the fact that the Sat V did not fly to the Moon in its entirety. Only third stage of the booster did.
• 12:5312:53, 20 December 2017 diff hist +18 Apollo Lunar Module Specifying the pronunciation of LM as "lem" to make it clear that this abbreviation was voiced as an acronym, not an initialism ("EL-EM"). This contrasts with CSM, which was voiced as an initialism.
• 12:4412:44, 20 December 2017 diff hist −39 Apollo Lunar Module Changing the unnecessarily restrictive "only, crewed vehicle to land on a natural object in the solar system other than the Earth" to instead simply say "to land anywhere beyond Earth." Rendezvous & docking with, say, Hubble does not constitute a landing.
• 12:3712:37, 20 December 2017 diff hist −110 Apollo Lunar Module Now switching to the proper last launch date.
• 12:3512:35, 20 December 2017 diff hist +111 Apollo Lunar Module Noting that "Last launch" was not the last launch.
• 12:3212:32, 20 December 2017 diff hist 0 Apollo Lunar Module "Last retirement" date was not correct. Last liftoff was Dec14, but the vehicle kept flying into the next day. Docking was Dec15/01:10:15 UTC. Undock was Dec15/04:51:31 UTC. Final deorbit burn was 1.5hrs later, with it crashing on that same rev, on Dec15.
• 12:1412:14, 20 December 2017 diff hist +1 Apollo Lunar Module →Operational profile: Tweak. This spacecraft was still being referred to as the Lunar *Excursion* Module, as heard at the 1:44 point in this video during John Fitch's explanation.
