Talk:STS-40

Proposed merge of G-616 into STS-40
G-616 was one of several GAS payloads aboard STS-40, which had more notable payloads (Spacelab Life Sciences - 1), yet this is the only GAS experiment from any space shuttle mission to get its own article, and it doesn't seem to hold up by today's standards to be notable or verifiable enough to get its own article. I probably could just do it myself, but I thought I'd document it here to get opinions / collaboration on it, since parts of the G-616 article lack verifiability in themselves.

 * Well, it was my GAS payload and the page was requested for students to find. Lots of information has been moved over the years. Anyone else with a GAS payload, SLS payload or experiment is free to set up a page. Not being the most notable is no reason for ending the page. Lots of good science came from GAS payloads (even G-616). Also the impact to students was real. I got call 25 years later that being part of G-616 got students to become scientist and engineers. That was a win. 24.96.87.65 (talk) 22:51, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
