can try though. This is one of the sources I get my information from, and also from the Administrator, of the NVR and from the NHHC of which the Head of the DANFS project is my cousin. I am a Naval Historian currently attached to Navsource working on listings of CO's and correcting information as to the fates of USN ships only. I come highly recommended. We pick up where WIKI leaves off. I am not going to edit the Midas' listing you do that after you attempt to verify what & if my information is correct. The information I put on the Sphinx, Lake Champlain & Tarawa come from the same sources, and from former crewmembers of those ships, plus the accumulated knowledge of years of study of Naval History, bios of Commanding Officers, ships narrative histories, logbooks, cruise books, programs of commissioning, decommissioning, unpublished manuscripts of Order of Battle for WW II, and so on. Evidently your grasp of US Naval History is not too good, and for instance the rejection of you to list the CO's of the Enterprise, is tantamount to revisionalism. Navsource lists complete listings of CO's where known on every page, to preserve for posterity this history otherwise not known to the layman wanting info on his ship where he doesn't know where to access such information. Do you know that NHHC is also going to add these lists to the revised histories of ships should there come a time not in our lifetimes I'll grant when a new set of DANFS is published. I'm gratified that I will be a part of it as long as I can lift a finger. I would like to get in touch with you, and have left you my cell, and email so hopefully you will.

very first Case For Mars conference. I have personally seen most of the major components in the Space Shuttle and most of the prelaunch processing environment and operations. I presented briefings to the crew of the first Space Shuttle mission prior to STS-1 in 1981 and was on a console in the LCC for the Ares 1-X launch in 2009. I have supported more than 100 shuttle launches and also worked on the Constellation program and supported the ULA expendable program as well. There are certainly people who know a great deal more than I do about RLVs but they are obviously not contributing to this article at the moment. Knowledge is a fantastic information source and there are certainly many articles which meet the highest scholarly standards of reference, but this article does not come close at the present time. If someone else is prepared to work on it I would be the last to duplicate their efforts. But I am at least somewhat experienced in this field and there is limited literature on this topic which is accessible, current, and peer reviewed so it's hard to see how everything in the text could possibly be referred to an external source as you suggest. Moreover if you apply those standards you will have to remove most of the existing text. If you don't plan to apply this standard to the existing text I hope you will at least let me improve upon it. This is an important subject and it should be properly described. Best regards,

was no reply for months, so I assumed no one was interested. The sections I have edited had no relevant references and despite the immediacy of the topic haven't been maintained or updated. You don't have to go far in the current article to find logical absurdities. The very first section says "There are two approaches to Single stage to orbit or SSTO." Then it only gives one approach!! Where is the second???? Why is the word "Single" capitalized? Or consider this: "Also, lightweight implies small vehicles, which in turn implies small payloads, increasing the cost per kilogram of the payload." The previous sentence referred to "lightweight" structures, i.e. those with a high strength-to-weight ratio. This is completely unrelated to the total mass of the vehicle. The cost referred to is the launch cost per kilogram of payload, not the cost per kilogram of payload. There is hardly a paragraph in this article that doesn't have serious errors. I am mystified by the statement that all information must come from external sources. This is seldom the case in Knowledge and there are virtually no references in the article currently. Where are the references to sources that presumably should appear in every sentence of the article?

Now there is only one project, this is somewhat clearer, but spaceflight is still a huge topic.
