Well! Here we are! My first Featured Content Report since becoming POTD Co-ordinator. Well, I say "mine". What I've been doing is set up all the lists of promoted content and the credit for who created them (and, I'm absolutely sure, sometimes miscrediting something), get featured pictures looking good, dig through the surprisingly convoluted featured topic process, and then go away and hope someone else fills out all the short descriptions of the articles and lists, while still getting my name first in the credit, and then maybe finish up a few entries at the end, when most of the work's done. Isn't that horribly unfair? Mind, it still takes about three hours to get it to this state so if WikiProject JavaScript wants to replace my job with a very small shell script, as the coder joke goes, please do.

Its principal objective was to "establish a technology base for nuclear rocket engine systems to be utilized in the design and development of propulsion systems for space mission application".

 * Torture, nominated by Buidhe: Torture is the deliberate infliction of severe pain or suffering on a person for reasons such as punishment, extracting a confession, interrogation for information, or intimidating third parties. Some definitions are restricted to acts carried out by the state, but others include non-state organizations. Torture aims to break the victim's will and destroy their agency and personality. It is one of the most devastating experiences that a person can undergo and can also negatively affect perpetrating individuals and institutions. Public opinion research has shown general opposition to torture. Torture is prohibited under international law for all states under all circumstances and is explicitly forbidden by several treaties. Opposition to torture stimulated the formation of the human rights movement after World War II, and torture continues to be an important human rights issue. Although its incidence has declined, torture is still practiced by most countries.
 * SS Edward L. Ryerson, nominated by GreatLakesShips: SS Edward L. Ryerson is a steel-hulled American Great Lakes freighter which entered service in 1960.

She was not only the last steam-powered freighter built on the lakes but also the last one that was not a self-unloader. Since 2009, she has been in long-term layup in Superior, Wisconsin. She is one of only two American-owned straight deck lake freighters, the other being John Sherwin, built in 1958.

She sat on two select committees and spoke in favour of women's rights issues. She helped secure universal suffrage for the Dutch colonies Suriname and Curaçao in 1948. She was largely forgotten after her death, even during the second wave of feminism in the 1960s and 1970s. In the 21st century efforts have been made to make her achievements better known.

 * Apollo 6, nominated by Wehwalt: Apollo 6 (April 4, 1968), also known as AS-502, was the third and final uncrewed flight in the United States' Apollo Program and the second test of the Saturn V launch vehicle. It qualified the Saturn V to be used on crewed missions, as happened for the first time on Apollo 8 in December 1968. Apollo 6 was intended to demonstrate the ability of the Saturn V's third stage, the S-IVB, to propel itself and the Apollo spacecraft to lunar distances. Despite the engine failures, the flight provided NASA with enough confidence to use the Saturn V for crewed launches; a potential third uncrewed flight was cancelled.
 * Georges Feydeau, nominated by Tim riley: Georges-Léon-Jules-Marie Feydeau (8 December 1862 – 5 June 1921) was a French playwright of the era known as the Belle Époque.

The Barkhale Camp enclosure was first identified in 1929, by John Ryle, and was surveyed the following year by E. Cecil Curwen, who listed it as a possible Neolithic site in a 1930 paper which was the first attempt to list all the causewayed enclosures in England.
 * Siege of Guînes (1352), nominated by Gog the Mild: The siege of Guînes took place from May to July 1352 when a French army under Geoffrey de Charny unsuccessfully attempted to recapture the French castle at Guînes which had been seized by the English the previous January. The siege was part of the Hundred Years' War and took place during the uneasy and ill-kept truce of Calais.
