Edit summary[edit]

I don't think that Andrevan's edit was harmful. Truly. That's why I assumed good faith.

However, I do think that I don't know why it was changed. That's what the edit summary is for. The edit can simply be redone and a short note on who, what, and why should be included. E_dog95'^{Hi '} 18:54, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't leave one because it was obvious what I was doing, and no further exposition seemed necessary.Andre (talk) 19:56, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For the sake of clarification: This edit was made due to the article being corrected to agree with the reference. Andre (talk) 19:59, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It took you more than an hour to finally say what you're intentions were with that simple edit. During that hour, you accused me of vandalism, threatened me with blocking, and generally showed poor conduct when collaborating with others. I do not respect your ways, nor your ability as an editor on this collaboration-based encyclopedia. We should not have to research the who's and what's of your edits simply because you weren't nice enough to leave a summary. E_dog95'^{Hi '} 20:07, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removed reference to Raytheon and University of Arizona because Astrobotic has not been affiliated with them for a couple years. Updated description with current affiliations to come. Authenticus (talk) 17:39, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Instead, you should change that part to the past tense and cite the fact that they are no longer involved. Wikipedia is not an encyclopedia of the present truth but of change over time. Andrevan@ 00:28, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

More press on the SpaceX launch contract signing for the moon launch[edit]

More press I haven't yet had time to read. May be helpful for improving the article.

Cheers. N2e (talk) 14:34, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

...and another, one week on. N2e (talk) 00:56, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A few details on the lander[edit]

There are a number of details on the design and current manufacturing status of the lander in the slide show text that accompanies the Wall Street Journal article of 2 July 2011. I added a citation to the WSJ source to the main AT article yesterday. Cheers. N2e (talk) 13:21, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Date for the mission announced: Oct 2015[edit]

This press release gives the date for the mission as late October 2015, 2 1/2 years from now, with launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9. Landing location is planned for the lunar north pole: the mission "will prospect for potentially rich deposits of water ice, methane and other resources at the moon’s north pole." Cheers. N2e (talk) 03:14, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

More press, an article in Scientific American was published 3 Apr 2012, Entrepreneurs Race to Get a Rover on the Moon and Win $30 Million. N2e (talk) 04:00, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
