Contradiction
The statement on this page, "Morgan will not teach the same live lessons that McAuliffe was supposed to teach more than 20 years before," directly contradicts the statement on Morgan's page. I have no idea which is correct. --CopaceticOpus 16:46, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

The following article seems to suggest that Mrogan did teach lessons from space. See below: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/15/science/space/15shuttle.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.5.237.2 (talk) 12:56, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

 * the link is broken, so I can't verify content; I did try, and searched for a replacement link to no avail
 * it doesn't make sense i.e. Morgan wouldn't teach space education classes similar in content to those that McAuliffe taught, because McAuliffe's lessons would be 25 years out of date
 * it says that Morgan taught the classes at Walt Disney World, NOT in space

June 2007
The article states that the mission is scheduled for the next month or so. I would ask that updates on the mission be included to some degree to make this article more relevant.

Question
Who were the original teachers (two from each state) who were chosen for the project from which they winnowed it down to McAuliffe?

The program has comletely changed
I am trying to update the article.

Chronology
According to Teachers in space, the history,


 * A new Teachers in Space program began in 2005
 * In 2006, United States Rocket Academy partnered with the Space Frontier Foundation, and Teachers in Space became a joint project.
 * They selected Pathfinder astronaut candidates and developed an astronaut-teacher training curriculum in a cooperative arrangement with NASA.
 * United States Rocket Academy discontinued its partnership with the Space Frontier Foundation in the fall of 2011.
 * As of January 2012, Teachers in Space no longer exists per se and is now Citizens in Space. Edward Wright is chairman of the United States Rocket Academy and project manager of Teachers in Space.

Current status
Teachers in Space is now Citizens in Space, and is a project of the United States Rocket Academy:


 * "'This is an expansion of the existing program, not a split. We have not transferred the suborbital flights or any other portion of the Teachers in Space program. Continued use of the “Teachers in Space” name by the Space Frontier Foundation is not authorized.'"

Emphasis mine. I began to revise the article, but there is enough here for others to continue anything I missed, or misunderstood, I hope. --FeralOink (talk) 06:41, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

This is all quite strange because it's only self-referenced and a blog post, neither reliable sources. To include those kinds of things, we need to be able to find them in reliable sources. It is not clear to me that the older program led to or was replaced by the newer program. "Teachers in Space" is not a registered trademark. A disagreement between Space Frontier Foundation and U.S. Rocket Academy is not relevant, either. -- ke4roh (talk) 03:24, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
