Talk:Rusty Schweickart

Gross inaccuracy: "Emmy" and first live TV
I've removed the sentences about the suupposed Emmy for "first live TV", and the in-article response. The first sentence is (Schweickart's NASA bio); and the first live TV from space came from Apollo 7; this probably could be considered vandalism. And a bit of editor instruction: the correct way to respond to this sort of thing isn't with counter information in the article, but to delete it, and discuss it here on the talk page.

Military service and rank missing
Most if not all astronauts of the Apollo missions have military service and rank. Why does Schweickart not have them as well?

 * - Thank you for that, good catch. I have added his rank. I think the reason it was left out, is that his rank is not specifically mentioned in his NASA biography. The NASA biographies serve as the basis of many of these astronaut articles. askeuhd (talk) 10:44, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

Askeuhd, thanks for updating! ICE77 (talk) 06:46, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

Emigration from Germany, not France
"In 1892, his grandfather Jacques Schweickart emigrated from Lembach, a small town located in Alsace, France, to the United States." – This misrepresents the fact that his grandfather emigrated from Germany (which Alsace was part of in 1892) rather than from France. 2A00:23C8:8945:CA01:98FB:C518:BF2:43B4 (talk) 15:13, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
