Unsectioned discussion[edit]

I think this page should be a disambiguation page, as there were 2 main Apollo spacecraft - the CSM (for which there isn't much of an article yet) and the LM.

I made a small edit to place the metric measurements first per NASA requirements. (The rest of the page is SI). This is very well written.

I don't believe the lunar module was part of "the Apollo spacecraft". Do we have any sources?--Craigboy (talk) 05:11, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The LM was definitely part of the Apollo spacecraft. The agenda of Project Apollo was to place astronauts on the surface of the Moon per President Kennedy's proposal. No LM = no walking on the Moon. The Apollo spacecraft was the payload of the Saturn 5 booster when in service to Project Apollo; the payload was everything ultimately hurled Moonward by the Saturn 5's S-4B upper stage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.223.130.32 (talk) 02:55, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The addition of unflown spacecraft to this list really has to be thought out. It doesn't make much sense based on the original intent of the section, which as the title implies, was to list where the remaining, accessible vehicles are located on Earth, or in the case of the LM descent stages, on the Moon where they are observable and would be accessible by return flights to the Moon. The Service Modules aren't listed because they are by definition inaccessible (destroyed), and the LM ascent stages are all either destroyed, or in solar orbit (practically inaccessible). Consider the following:

• The Unflown list here is incomplete; there are several more spacecraft on display.
• Both lists are redundant to the more complete lists given in Apollo Command/Service Module and Apollo Lunar Module.
• Having a separate list here, just increases the maintenance load. Perhaps there should just be pointers to the two above lists.
• Ask yourself again, are we adding value by listing the display locations of unflown spacecraft here?
• What about the spacecraft that were scrapped, or never completed?

Editors, couple of things... 1. You need to amend your LM or LEM section. Besides Apollo 15-17, LM held two astronauts on Apollo 11 and 12, and saved the 3 astronauts on Apollo 13:

"It supplied life support systems for two astronauts for up to four to five days on the Apollo 15, 16 and 17 missions."

2. Grumman Aircraft morphed into Grumman Aerospace Corporation in the early 60s when it was given the contract for the LM) by NASA. It formed a subsidiary called "Grumman Allied" for non-aerospace products, and Grumman Aerospace for the Apollo and subsequent Space Shuttle program.
