Updating the robotic flights of the 1960s!
[edit]Hello! There are a lot of great articles about satellites and missions of the '60s, but there are still a lot of red links, and even the flights that have articles are often minimal, sometimes just cribs from NSSDC—Soviet missions are particularly bare.
I wonder if there are folks who would like to join me in methodically working forward from Sputnik 1 and getting everything up to at least "B" quality. I would be happy to coordinate and help find good sources. Specifically, I am looking for folks with good English skills who enjoy writing articles essentially from the ground up, making professional quality entries for all to enjoy.
Any interest? --Neopeius (talk) 04:47, 20 May 2025 (UTC)
Bacteria in ISS
[edit]Hi, everybody! I have added some info on recent discoveries related to Enterobacter bugandensis found in the ISS:
I hope you folks will find it interesting and important enough to expand the article accordingly.

Space probe names in italics
[edit]I've noticed that some space probes, like the Voyagers and Pioneer 10/11, their names are put in italics while others like the rest of the Pioneer program and less notable spacecraft are not. For example, if you go to the Pioneer program article, Pioneer 10 and 11 are italicized while all the other space probes are not. The Wikipedia style guide says this:
"Do not italicize a mission, series, or class except where it coincides with a craft's name: the Eagle was the Apollo 11 lunar lander; Voyager 2 was launched as part of the Voyager program."
So should every space probe name be italicized? Is there a reason why some are and some are not? Luckytent (talk) 17:03, 21 May 2025 (UTC)
