Improvements[edit]

@StrayBolt: Many thanks for finding better sources and clarifying the scope and history of this project. Great example of an AfD resulting in improvement to a long-abandoned article. Plus thanks to you I learned about Lunex! — JFG ^talk 16:43, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Spinningspark as well for your constructive comments in the AfD. — JFG ^talk 16:44, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Finding the Space Launching System plan[edit]

The 1961 Lunex plan states on page 19 that the Space Launching System is detailed in a separate document.

This plan does not contain development information on the Launching System since such information is contained in a separate System Package Plan being prepared concurrently. The development schedules in these plans have been coordinated to insure compatibility.

Also on page 34:

The costing as shown on the schedule does not include the cost of developing the Space Launching System since this is provided under a separate System Package plan.

Can one of our archive experts find this "System Package Plan" document? That would be an authoritative source for more details. — JFG ^talk 17:31, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The place for questions like that is WP:REX. A lot of real librarians and scholars hang out on that page and can get you copies of most things. SpinningSpark 19:52, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
