Proposed missions section
Could someone clarify the purpose of the "Proposed missions" section? The distinction between NASA proposing a mission and otherwise participating is hazy here, leading to the likely possibility that the "Proposed" section is subject to vandalism. Without correction I will resort the missions contained therein. 70.15.11.44 (talk) 03:39, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I changed that space to "Planned missions" and resorted the content appropriately. Further clarification of the section title could be had by changing it again to "Future missions" if needed. As it was, long ended NASA-led missions were the majority of those listed under the "Proposed" title. 70.15.11.44 (talk) 23:06, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Rename article
I propose we rename this article Outline of NASA missions. It has been more than a simple listing of mission names for a while, and should continue to evolve in that manner. A simple distinction, but appropriate. Without objection, I will move this article in about a month. JimsMaher (talk) 16:32, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Dawn ... interplanetary?
Currently Dawn is listed as an interplanetary mission. Call me old fashioned but I think it would be better under the "Asteroid mission" list. What do you reckon?Ordinary Person (talk) 10:21, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Depending on how you define "planet", either section could be appropriate. Case-in-point: Ceres is a dwarf planet in the asteroid belt ... however, here are some external links that call the mission "interplanetary":
 * Orbital.com "Dawn Interplanetary Spacecraft"
 * NASA.gov "Dawn Spacecraft Begins Interplanetary Cruise Phase"
 * With that in mind, just provide justification (preferably with a citation) if you decide to move it. JimsMaher (talk) 05:55, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Mercury Dates?
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I thought Project Mercury started in '58, not '59. 31.51.120.104 (talk) 10:28, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

Mars Science Laboratory (MSL)
Curiosity and the Mars Science Laboratory are the same thing, why is it a sub article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.2.211.164 (talk) 02:35, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

Orphaned references in List of NASA missions
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of NASA missions's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "a3-1": From Proposed SLS and Orion missions:  From Artemis program:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 14:42, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

SpaceX launch
Should the recent Falcon Crew Dragon launch not be listed with the NASA crewed missions? Jhvos (talk) 07:54, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Of course it should be. JustinTime55 (talk) 14:58, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

Changing format to be more similar to List of European Space Agency programmes and missions
I think this article could benefit from being modeled after the List of European Space Agency programmes and missions article. Rather than listing missions by planetary body, it could be organized according to program, (e.g. Discovery Program, New Frontiers program, Large strategic science missions). Additionally, I think it would be more useful to order missions by chronological order than alphabetical order. Any thoughts on this or other potential changes?
