Talk:List of human spaceflight programs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"alphabetically by programme" is unnecessary. I'm moving this page to List of manned space missions. --Jiang 04:32, 20 Oct 2003 (UTC)

[edit] What to do with mission descriptions on this page?

I see that brief mission descriptions have been added for some of these flights. I was planning to start filling in a few more, but taking this to its logical conclusion I would simply be replicating all the information at List of human spaceflights - which seems kind of pointless. What's the view on this? In the interests of avoiding duplication would it be better to remove the flight descriptions here (making sure all info was already at List of human spaceflights) and then just have a plain list of missions here, referring people to List of human spaceflights (and of course the detailed articles about the missions, which are already linked) for further information?

Or maybe just retain the really salient information here (such as first US manned orbital flight, first moon manding etc.) and relegate everything else to the other articles?

Any thoughts?
