Talk:Minotaur-C

Cost
The article states two figures: ...failed during the launch of the $270m Orbiting Carbon Observatory spacecraft. and ...Launch vehicle and services for OCO are estimated at $54m. Could someone explain the difference (in the text, I suggest)? -DePiep (talk) 09:15, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The first figure is the cost of the spacecraft. -- G W … 11:47, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Antares is not a Taurus successor
Calling Antares a Taurus successor is original research. The technologies, capabilities, and target markets are completely different. That its development name was "Taurus II" is completely irrelevant. I plan to revert the statement again if there is no supporting reference in a week. --IanOsgood (talk) 21:40, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Huh? Successor to is not the same as evolution of. Martijn Meijering (talk) 21:46, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
 * The other implication of "successor" is that one replaces the other. AFAIK, they are both to be continued. If anything, Antares is the Delta II successor. --IanOsgood (talk) 14:37, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Can the assertion be reworded (omitting "successor") in such a way that it accurately reflects the connection between the two and is well sourced? (sdsds - talk) 03:57, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
 * 2 years later, done. Though both rockets have since been renamed, they share a common Castor 120-derived solid stage. Anythingcouldhappen (talk) 02:57, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Dead?
Is this rocket out of business or is there any development since the last failures? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.22.127.229 (talk) 09:06, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
