A fact from Toward the Unknown appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 25 November 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
The first tagline is patently false (e.g. Destination Moon (film)), while the second is still in unmemorable violation of WP:TAGLINE. The two sentences could be retained without the taglines if the cited references support them. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:05, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The tagline actually refers to the USAF efforts of flying X-planes to the edge of space. Not sure why this is such a hullabaloo issue (see: If the tagline is not very famous but still considered relevant to a film's marketing, it can belong in the appropriate section of the article body.), but I can see removing the second instance. FWiW, Note the clever but duplicitous use of terminology: "The screen's first story of man-piloted rocket ships as a case can be made that other spaceships were actually remotely controlled, and were not "piloted".

I don't know why that sentence is even in WP:TAGLINE; every tagline is part of the marketing. Presumably it is intended to mean significantly relevant. Anyway, I don't want to open the floodgates to all the slobbering tagline devotees out there (and there are plenty). Besides, there's no sign of remote control in Destination Moon or Abbott and Costello Go to Mars for that matter (and may a balloon pop if I'm not telling the truth).

It was pretty clear that the film was trying to tie into the USAF X-planes program with their marketing. Take a look at the new edits. FWiW, NACA/NASA test pilots made it eminently clear to any within earshot, that they were "real" pilots and the others were "spam in a can."
