Hydrogen catalyzed oxygen extraction
This part of the "Marerials processing" section was tagged as needing citation and clarification. It is not clear if the process is said to be inefficient in energy or catalyst reuse. A specific cost in either energy or catalyst per unit production would be helpful. I will look for data, but anyone who can help is welcome.--Fartherred (talk) 04:03, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Insulation
"The use of metals for electrical devices would require insulators for the wires, so a flexible insulating material such as plastic or fiberglass will be needed."

Beads made from molten rock might be cheaper, and quite satisfactory in a dry environment. Tabby (talk) 13:05, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Insulin image
I found a much higher-resolution version of the insulin image currently displayed on this article. It's located here. I'm not compelled enough to change this, but it might be nice if someone with an actual account uploaded this image to replace the old one.

Recycling Centaur Rockets
Somebody should start a discussion about repairing and using the hundreds of Centaur Rockets that are in disposal orbits just beyond Geosynchronous Orbit. They all have simlar H2 - LOX engines which could be used for spare parts to repair the better ones, and LOX from the moon and H2 from earth will be available about the same time a repair factory could be put in place. The result is free rocket engines already in space. 198.203.213.110 (talk) 23:10, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia articles are not simply discussions of things that editors find interesting, but verifyable facts. The talk sections of articles are to discuss possible changes of the article.  The existence of Centaur Rockets in disposal orbits may be common knowledge to rocketry experts and enthusiasts, but is news to me.  Mentioning these available pieces of potential salvage may be acceptable as common knowledge in the article, but a reference from a reliable source refering to them would not hurt.  Wikipedia does not advocate space manufacturing or the recycling of rockets.  Wikipedia reports what is done and advocated by others as reported in reliable sources.  - Fartherred (talk) 03:03, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
