THE SPACE SHUTTLE CHALLENGER Space Shuttle Challenger (NASA Orbiter Vehicle Designation or OV-099) was NASA's second Space Shuttle orbiter to be put into service, after Columbia. Its maiden voyage was on April 4, 1983, and it made eight further round trips to low earth orbit before breaking up 73 seconds after the launch of its tenth mission, on January 28, 1986, killing all seven crew members. This Space Craft would be replaced by the space shuttle Endeavour, launched six years after the disaster.
THE SPACE SHUTTLE CREW
THE SPACE SHUTTLE CHALLENGER DISTASTER The Space Shuttle Challenger disaster occurred in the United States, above the state of Florida, at 11:39 am on January 28, 1986, when the Space Shuttle Challenger disintegrated 73 seconds into its flight after an O-ring seal in its right solid rocket booster failed. The seal failure caused a flame leak from the solid rocket booster, which impinged upon the adjacent external fuel tank. Within seconds, the flame caused structural failure of the external tank, and aerodynamic forces promptly broke up the orbiter. The shuttle was destroyed and all seven crew members were killed. The crew compartment and many other vehicle fragments were eventually recovered from the ocean floor after a lengthy search and recovery operation. The disaster resulted in a 32-month hiatus in the shuttle program and the formation of the Rogers Commission, a special commission appointed by United States President Ronald Reagan to investigate the accident. The Rogers Commission found that NASA's organizational culture and decision-making processes had been a key contributing factor to the accident.
I've been beefing up the text headings in some of the sections, but find myself wondering if this is really redundant in what is really mostly just a list of pointers to other articles. Any thoughts about the "right" balance here? Thanks for any thoughts y'all may have. Wwheaton ( talk) 15:56, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
It also, if carried very far, starts to demand sources, etc -- which may be the reasonable place to draw the line. Wwheaton ( talk) 15:59, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
References
I just commented out a reference at the top of the article page to the above title, because no such article (same as this one, except "basic" omitted) seems to exist. If this is not an historical anachronism, someone may want to repair it, but I suspect it needed to go. Bill Wwheaton ( talk) 21:56, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Guidelines for the development of outlines are being drafted at Wikipedia:Outlines.
Your input and feedback is welcomed and encouraged.

Please add some relevant links to the history section.
Links can be found in the "History of" article for this subject, in the "History of" category for this subject, or in the corresponding navigation templates. Or you could search for topics on Google - most topics turn blue when added to Wikipedia as internal links.

I noticed that you are really into space exploration topics.
I'm currently coordinating the construction of Wikipedia's Outline of Knowledge. It's a tree structure depicting the accumulated knowledge of humankind. And because it's linked, it also doubles as a table of contents or site map to Wikipedia.
I was hoping you would take a look at the space exploration branch of the tree: Outline of space exploration.
Is it structured well?
What's missing?
For more information on outlines, see WP:OOK, WP:OUTLINE, and WP:WPOOK.
For some specific examples of well-developed outlines, see Outline of the United States, Outline of Vatican City, Outline of robotics, and Outline of classical studies. For examples of even more detailed outlines, see Outline of forestry, Outline of cell biology, and Outline of Buddhism.
I look forward to your reply.

The numbers given are very difficult to compare without all the data being for a common year. And without source citations, there is no telling what number was added to the table for each country by various editors, likely looking at different years' annual agency budgets. I think we need to begin to source the claims with citations. But I'm very open to other approaches for improving the pedia? Anyone have a single source that provides comparative data for a certain year? N2e ( talk) 20:36, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
" Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:09, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
