Recently-born to reach space entries edit

I suggest removing this category. There is nothing special about being in it, the "records" keep getting broken simply from time passing on and new people going to space. Earliest-born to reach space is different, these categories will become unbeatable in the not so distant future. --mfb (talk) 04:30, 14 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

I removed it. If someone disagrees, please discuss here. --mfb (talk) 06:13, 5 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Earliest born female suborbital in the Age section redundant edit

The entry for Wally Funk's flight on NS-16 seems to be redundant (or if not that, then meaningless), since Valentina Tereshkova flew an orbital flight (Vostok 6) about six decades earlier, and was born almost two years before Wally. A suborbital flight record is only meaningful as a stepping stone, when an orbital flight of the same nature has not already been achieved. 74.83.1.69 (talk) 04:34, 14 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Crew Transfer edit

Would it be justifiable to have two Crew Transfer records? The first would be between two occupied crewed spacecraft via spacewalk (Soyuz 4 and 5). The second would be using a docking tunnel between two docked crew-capable spacecraft (Apollo 9).

Apollo 9 was also the first time astronauts spent time in a crewed spacecraft not designed to enter Earth's atmosphere while not being docked to a vehicle designed to do so. AmigaClone (talk) 05:10, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Incorrect attribution of Walter Villadei to ESA edit

For the section "Total human spaceflight time by country" it appears that Walter Villadei's time is counted for ESA, even though he is not actually representing ESA. 213.89.117.57 (talk) 16:54, 23 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
