Talk:Space
From Wikitravel
Why I wrote this:
- It's a tourist destinaion and will definitely remain so for the future (unless something really bad happens)
- It's a tiny article and doesn't take much effort to write or maintain
- We want to be complete
- Sometimes, you have to encourage dreams :)

- Actually, it's explicitly out of scope (geographical hierarchy). --Evan 10:50, 6 Apr 2004 (EDT)
Alright, though I'd argue that Earth orbit should definitely be included. Sort of like how you include territorial waters with a nation. If we ever get tourism to the Moon and Mars, we'll have to redefine anyway. And Space is a tourist destination. Until then, I'll be careful not to mention satellite phones. ;) -- Nils 11:04, 6 Apr 2004 (EDT)
- OK, let's see what happens with it. Let's not have it on the Main Page for a while until it's a little more mature, though. --Evan 11:08, 6 Apr 2004 (EDT)
Fair enough, although we do link some factbook imports on the mainpage as well outer space is a bit out of place there. I was quite aware of this... "Other Destinations" didn't have a subpage, however, tho and I didn't want to create one. Might make sense to do that. Among other things, we could list oceans on there too. (You have to link it somewhere). -- Nils 11:14, 6 Apr 2004 (EDT)
- So, how about in Travel topics? It's more of a travel topic than a destination guide, as far as I can tell. --Evan 11:23, 6 Apr 2004 (EDT)
- Actually, space is obviously a region, whose destinations would include the Moon, Mars, etc. Space tourism is for real and the Russkies are now offering flights around the moon for a mere US$100 million, so I think this is worth expanding. Jpatokal 23:19, 27 Jul 2005 (EDT)
[edit] Japanese Sidebar
Um... somebody came along and added the cross link to the Japanese language page today. Suddenly, though, the left sidebar is now completely in Japanese. Any ideas? -- Ilkirk 14:29, 24 Oct 2005 (EDT)
[edit] On the Earth -- in or out?
Hmm -- should the "On the Earth" section stay in "Get in", or move to "Get out"? Jpatokal 00:09, 9 June 2007 (EDT)
- I like it in Get in... it's the first stage of actually "getting in" to Space, and it fits within the quirky style of that section. I like that you added it by the way. I love this article – cacahuate talk 01:43, 10 June 2007 (EDT)
- I see the logic of putting it in "Get out", but I think it fits perfectly where it is. Plus I have an inappropriate fondness for the "Get out" section as it is now (I wrote it). :) - Todd VerBeek 10:05, 10 June 2007 (EDT)
[edit] Space Adventures
Jani, did you mean to remove them from Zero-G? Their website still lists it as a possibility... – cacahuate talk 04:21, 14 June 2007 (EDT)
- As far as I can see Space Adv just resell Zero-G's flights -- if you look carefully, the flight schedules are 100% identical, and Zero-G claims to be the only commercial operator in the US. Jpatokal 05:24, 14 June 2007 (EDT)
