edit flag color to a lighter red because it looks more modern and new. Qwertywasdf (talk) 17:48, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

grammar issue in "Display on vehicles" section
"Nevertheless, Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo were launched and landed vertically and could not horizontal atmospheric flight as the Space Shuttle did on its landing approach, so the streaming convention was not followed."

The bold phrase highlighted in the sentence is not grammatically correct. The phrase could probably be simply replaced with "not horizontally".

Prospect Hill flag debate
I haven't looked closely at the article right now, and may not do so for a while, but I'm not sure why a controversy about the flag used on a specific occasion in 1775 (almost two years before the flag which is the topic of this article was first adopted) is important enough to this article to add 1,683 bytes about it.

Error in image?
It looks to me like the image of the flag at the top of the article only has 45 stars (nine rows of 5). Is this an error? DavidPBaril (talk) 14:59, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Stars and Stripes Lafayette
Reference 3 does not confirm that the Marquis de Lafayette coined the phrase "stars and stripes." Is there a source that does? I found nothing with a quick search. 168.91.171.110 (talk) 17:03, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
