Article opening

Why are we bothering with mentioning the unmanned landings, especially in the opening? Calling them landings is dubious at best and everyone knows it. Is this some kind of fight the power thing against America?

Because they are still moon landings. Balon Greyjoy (talk) 08:10, 6 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Balon, they are still landings and are still historic. BurntBreeze (talk) 01:33, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

List of Moon missions

This article is actually in danger in becoming that: just a list article. Better to just list the missions in a list article, so that this article can actually focus on specific aspects of moon missions. KyuuA4 (Talk:キュウ) 06:11, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Map of soft landings is unreadable this way

Just to mention that the clickable map that is featured in the top right corner right now, is unreadable in this size. I don't know how to fix this and either display a slightly larger thumbnail, or make it link through to the larger version that exists on Wikimedia: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Moon_landing_sites.svg Greetings, RagingR2 (talk) 17:31, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Luna 25's launch date needs updating

The article still lists Luna 25 as being set to launch in May 2022, when it's been rearranged to July 2023. MikeKennedy123 (talk) 18:05, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request

it's spelled "mascon" not "masscon": https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=MASCON%2Cmascon%2CMASSCON%2Cmasscon&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=26&smoothing=3 135.180.194.177 (talk) 06:06, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
