Talk:List of human spaceflights chronologically

I dont believe the ISS expeditions sould be listed seperately and if they are then the Mir and Salyut ones should be too. Tom Walker 1 November 2005

MA6 crew
Why is the crew of Mercury-Atlas 6 named, when those of the other flights are not? EdDavies 20:49, 9 September 2006 (UTC)


 * It might be because the text says that it is America's first astronaut to orbit, so identifies that person. Bubba73 (talk), 01:59, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Proposal to merge
It seems to me that it would be a good idea to merge the articles List of human spaceflights, 1961-1986, List of human spaceflights, 1987-1999, List of human spaceflights, 2000-present with this article (List of human spaceflights chronologically). I don't really see the point of having two different sets of lists. Anyone disagree? Matt 13:25, 22 September 2006 (UTC).

I agree with the proposed merge. I didn't realize there are two lists. BuffaloChip97 16:07, 22 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I have found that there are several lists, with a lot of overlap. See List of space exploration milestones, 1957-1969, go to the See also section, and the ones I found are listed there.  Some of them are intended to have a different focus than others, though.  Bubba73 (talk), 16:36, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Just to clarify the direction of the proposed merge (which wasn't very clear in my first post). The articles List of human spaceflights, 1961-1986, List of human spaceflights, 1987-1999 and List of human spaceflights, 2000-present contain rather more information than this one, so I suggest that some check is made that all information here is already contained in those aticles, then this article can just be redirected to List of human spaceflights. The main info missing from the three target articles at the moment seems to be explicit indication of countries. However, someone has started adding country flags to List of human spaceflights, 2000-present and I've done a few more too and will continue as the mood takes me.

 * I have checked and all the information in this article now seems to be in List of human spaceflights, with the exception of eleven X-15 flights that met the US but not FAI defintion of spaceflight. These are covered there by a note and a link to the X-15 article where the 11 flights are detailed. Therefore, since there have been no objections, I am redirecting this page to List of human spaceflights. (I have also made a suggestion there that "List of manned spaceflights" would be a more natural title, but will wait a while to see if anyone has any sensible objection to the rename, other than political correctness gone mad.)
