Talk:Luna

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.

I think this page should also have a picture of the moon from Star Trek 5 with the Enterprise in front of it. --TOSrules 23:08, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mirror Universe picture

I don't know, if the picture of the Terran soldier planting the imperial flag on Luna is so fitting in the Luna-article. --BlueMars 15:37, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

Where do the 2039 date for first human settlement and Tycho City-as-capital come from? -- DarkHorizon 08:45, 9 Jan 2004 (PST)

Seems to be from the Star Charts, again, together with the population size and the list of "points of interest". -- Cid Highwind 04:50, 10 Jan 2004 (PST)

Some of these info are from the Star Charts, but if i remember well Riker said something about the Lake Amstrong and New Berlin in First Contact. And Also about the population -- User 81.53.187.29 NOTE - I've uploaded the moon's page before you said not to use info from the Star Charts...

It is a commonly accepted fact that there is actually another, much smaller natural satellite orbiting the earth. I am unaware of the actual nature of this object, but have read significant details about it in scientific journals and magazines. Should this article be edited to reflect that fact?

I believe you are referring to the asteroid Cruithne. This is not in fact a natural satellite, but a body that shares the Earth's orbit, a co-orbital. It does not orbit the Earth itself. The Moon is the only natural satellite of the Earth, because it does orbit the Earth. -- Michael Warren | Talk 14:42, 14 Feb 2005 (GMT)

Sorry, no. It has been proven that there is at least three natural satallites in orbit of Earth. So Earth has three moons at least.

Evidence, please, anon user? Since reference material directly contradicts you, I sincerely doubt your claim. -- Michael Warren | Talk 05:15, 23 Mar 2005 (EST)

[edit] Armstrong's Quote

Currently, the page reads Neil Armstrong's famous quote as "One small step for man...". But now, they have analized it with state of the art equpiment, and are saying it was said as "One small step for a man...". I just wanted to get approval before I began to screw with a famous quote. Opinions?"--CaptainCaca 21:11, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Snopes says otherwise. [1]. He didn't say "a man." --Bp 02:10, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

That Snopes article was apparently last updated in 2004. The more recent news story from October 2006 was that computer programmer Peter Shann Ford used new software to analyze the NASA audio and determined that Armstrong did indeed say "a man" [2] [3] Then again, it's not as if the Ford's thing is definitive, either, so as far as this article goes, perhaps its best to hedge bets by briefly describing the debate about the quote's exact wording. --TommyRaiko 03:11, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

The quote is heard in O'Donnell's dream (from unenhanced archival footage) as "one small step for man," so I'd say as far as the Trek universe is concerned, that's what he said.--Tim Thomason 03:20, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Names

I've removed the following list of various names for the moon:

• The Moon
• Luna
• Sol IIIa
• La Lune
• Der Mond
• The Lunar Colonies
• Selene
• Månen
• Kuu

The first two are covered at the beginning of the article. The Lunar Colonies is not another name for the moon, it's an establishment on the moon. And the rest of the names are real-world/non-canon. --From Andoria with Love 01:43, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Important!

The Planet which theoretically collided with Earth was named "Orpheus". Check into it, I saw a Nova documentry on it a few years ago.

Since Nova is not canon, I'd hardly call this "important" for the article. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 17:17, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Are these stats canon?

Are the stats in the sidebar box for the moon from a canon source, or are they from Wikipedia or somewhere else? -- Renegade54 14:12, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

• They are not canon and should be removed as in other articles, like Mars74.204.40.46 03:31, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Apollo 13

I think someone should mention Apollo 13 in the history section of this article, it's just too important to not mention.

MA catalogs canon information only - see Memory Alpha:Canon policy. So unless the mission got mentioned in an episode or movie, it doesn't belong here. All real-world info can be found in the wikipedia article, linked at the bottom. – Cleanse 02:12, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
