Probability of Booster to be used on Polaris Dawn Mission.[edit]

B1085 will probably used for the upcoming Polaris Dawn Mission And new booster will be used for upcoming Axiom-4 & Crew-9. Abdullah1099 (talk) 08:24, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notable Boosters section too long[edit]

The Notable Boosters section is getting too long as people keep adding irrelevant things into it. A good percentage of all boosters have an entry in the notable boosters section. It's kind of losing the meaning of what boosters are notable. Ergzay (talk) 03:41, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see a good case for Grasshopper, 1019 (first FT, first landing), 1021 (first reflight), maybe 1023 and 1025 (first FH), maybe 1046 (first B5, first to fly more than twice), 1058 (first crew). Everything else I don't see as very notable. "Reuse and recovery records" could be cleaned up as well. Do we really care which booster was the first to do 8 flights? --mfb (talk) 04:17, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I could see adding at least B1055 - First FH core booster to land - even though it failed to survive the trip back to port. The only others I would consider adding in the 'notable' list would be B1052 and B1053 which were part of the first operational (B5) FH launch.

As for "Reuse and recovery records", I would only highlight the first booster to fly twice and after that the first booster to reach the next multiple of 5. There might be an argument in favor of mentioning the time between the first two launches of a booster compared to the current record. AmigaClone (talk) 05:59, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Don't add F9-xxx as a wiki link[edit]

Several people have done this, most recently by @Avialuh but others have done this as well (are people copy pasting from some shared location?), please do not add in links like [[List of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches#F9-xxx|F9-xxx]] which creates a broken link like: F9-xxx If you want to add in F9-xxx link it to the Future launches section, like as follows with [[List of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches#Future launches|F9-xxx]] which creates a link like this: F9-xxx. This will help people who click it. Alternatively, don't link it at all. It makes no sense to wikilink it. Ergzay (talk) 02:01, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

B1061 in Galileo Mission[edit]

@Abdullah1099 Official sources that B1061 will be expendable in the next Galileo mission? Lazaro Fernandes (talk) 17:05, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Age of the booster[edit]

As we know SpaceX Expend the booster with more age. I will provide the source. Abdullah1099 (talk) 17:18, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speculation and Lack of Sources[edit]

Recently, theres been an uprise in adding speculation to which boosters fly which missions, this is being mainly done by @Abdullah1099 however some others have done this aswell, so im just going to try and make this clear: Boosters upcoming flights should only be updated once they are officially confirmed. An example of a proper source would be credible people (such as spacex, people with insider info, crew aboard an upcoming launch confirming it), basing it off your own ideas, tweets from not credible people (in the case of B1085 and crew 9, Lucas was not credible), and assuming they will just expend the current oldest booster on a mission MONTHS from now is not correct and shouldn't be done. This info can be misleading, while some of these are indeed likely to happen, we do not update until they are confirmed.

In the case of B1090, a NextSpaceFlight updater (with info) confirmed it in their discord server, though it has not been updated on the website yet (apologies for not explaining this earlier). If you happen to be in a similar situation, id advise explaining your source in the edit summary . Also with statuses @Abdullah1099, can you please double check before we update a boosters status, as you've listed B1086 and B1083 incorrectly as 'en route' and 'refurbishing' even though both boosters were clearly not in that state at the time. Avialuh (talk) 17:17, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK,I will do this correctly. My case is that B1083 (crew 8 booster) is got tweets by one of the crew member Jared Isaacman and as it is in June. So,it is confirmed to launch it. Abdullah1099 (talk) 02:05, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I get your point, however this was not any official confirmation as he never stated he will fly on it, only that, and I paraphrase, he will 'watch its career in great interest'.

I myself do believe 1083 will fly Polaris Dawn, however we will wait until its confirmed until updating it. Thanks. Avialuh (talk) 16:36, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
