Feedback from New Page Review process[edit]

I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: One more thing: You should add on the talk page attribution that part of this was copied from the Apollo 11 page. Don't remember if there is a specific template for this off of the top of my head..

Hi Sam-2727 and Diannaa. I've done some edits on the page, as have others. What was copied? Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 03:08, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Randy Kryn, Thanks for the ping. I was thinking about this page (the copied content), but I couldn't remember which page it was exactly. On this version, the text is copied from Apollo_11#Spacecraft. It's not that big of a deal since this is allowed. Just remember next time (specifically to Soumya-8974 who put the text there) to attribute the original source. You can do this in the page history, as Dianaa has done. Sam-2727 (talk) 14:46, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Impact of lunar ascent module[edit]

As describe in this video, detaild calculations have been made with the data of the lunar ascent modul after separation, and its orbit would not have impacted the moon. However, as other effects, like verting fuel or oxigen, are unnkown factors in this calculation, it is not 100% precise. Therefore, a moon impact of the lunar ascent modul cannot be rules ot, but is neither confirmed. I had therefore removed the unsourced claim that the lunar ascent modul has impaced at an unknown location, as there is a high probability that it might still be in orbit. See also this paper on this topic. @Randy Kryn: as you have revertet this removal, please give this another look if you still think this claim should be included in the article.

Thanks, an interesting video. The cite used further down the page to source the descent and crash is the Air and Space museum location list. Hopefully other editors will comment, and possibly leaving a note at the Spaceflight WikiProject talk page would find knowledgeable contributors. Would be nice if the premise is correct and Eagle is still flying, one of the corporate or national missions may eventually fly up and grab it to bring back to the Smithsonian.

Article states "calculations by the physicist James Meador"...James Meador is not a physicist. He is an Electrical Engineer.Jimm58 (talk) 15:48, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
