Talk:Teacher in Space Project

Contradiction[edit]

The statement on this page, "Morgan will not teach the same live lessons that McAuliffe was supposed to teach more than 20 years before," directly contradicts the statement on Morgan's page. I have no idea which is correct. --CopaceticOpus 16:46, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The following article seems to suggest that Mrogan did teach lessons from space. See below: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/15/science/space/15shuttle.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.5.237.2 (talk) 12:56, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I removed this,

"However, three weeks after the mission ended, she taught a number of space education classes at Walt Disney World, lecturing lessons similar to what McAuliffe would have taught.{{Cite news|url=http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/space/09/10/teacher.astronaut/index.html|title=Teacher-astronaut takes mission to Disney|publisher=CNN | deadurl=yes}}{{Dead link|date=August 2012|bot=RjwilmsiBot}}"

because

the link is broken, so I can't verify content; I did try, and searched for a replacement link to no avail
it doesn't make sense i.e. Morgan wouldn't teach space education classes similar in content to those that McAuliffe taught, because McAuliffe's lessons would be 25 years out of date
it says that Morgan taught the classes at Walt Disney World, NOT in space

June 2007[edit]

The article states that the mission is scheduled for the next month or so. I would ask that updates on the mission be included to some degree to make this article more relevant.

Question[edit]

Who were the original teachers (two from each state) who were chosen for the project from which they winnowed it down to McAuliffe?

External Links[edit]

I cleaned out the external links to the barebones of the NASA project website, and the NEA teacher's page. These seem the only appropriate links. Note that in the external linking guideline that the section is not intended for further reading or reference. Links are to go to the significant websites dealing with the subject that are official or officially recognized representative websites and/or organizations (such as the NEA and the NASA page) rather than links to columns or articles discussing the subject.

I will try to repair some of the many broken links with valid replacements. --FeralOink (talk) 10:56, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The program has comletely changed[edit]

I am trying to update the article.

Chronology[edit]

According to Teachers in space, the history,

A new Teachers in Space program began in 2005
In 2006, United States Rocket Academy partnered with the Space Frontier Foundation, and Teachers in Space became a joint project.
They selected Pathfinder astronaut candidates and developed an astronaut-teacher training curriculum in a cooperative arrangement with NASA.
United States Rocket Academy discontinued its partnership with the Space Frontier Foundation in the fall of 2011.
As of January 2012, Teachers in Space no longer exists per se and is now Citizens in Space. Edward Wright is chairman of the United States Rocket Academy and project manager of Teachers in Space.

Current status[edit]

Teachers in Space is now Citizens in Space, and is a project of the United States Rocket Academy:

"This is an expansion of the existing program, not a split. We have not transferred the suborbital flights or any other portion of the Teachers in Space program. Continued use of the “Teachers in Space” name by the Space Frontier Foundation is not authorized."

Emphasis mine. I began to revise the article, but there is enough here for others to continue anything I missed, or misunderstood, I hope. --FeralOink (talk) 06:41, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is all quite strange because it's only self-referenced and a blog post, neither reliable sources. To include those kinds of things, we need to be able to find them in reliable sources. It is not clear to me that the older program led to or was replaced by the newer program. "Teachers in Space" is not a registered trademark. A disagreement between Space Frontier Foundation and U.S. Rocket Academy is not relevant, either. -- ke4roh (talk) 03:24, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
