The caption of this image says that "shuttle launches had become almost routine after fifty successful missions," but
list of space shuttle missions say it was the 25th flight. What's the explanation for this discrepancy? —Bkell 07:44, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply

I would assume someone at Nasa mistook the 51 in STS-51L to mean it was the 51st mission. That's not right. IIRC, the 5 stood for the 5th year of the program, the 1 stood for kennedy space center, and the L is an order number within that. --- PyTom 20:30, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Close. "5" meant that the mission was scheduled for Fiscal Year 1985 (October 1, 1984-September 30, 1985). If not for the Challenger Disaster, one of the missions in 1986 would have been the first to use the "2" in the second position, launching from Vandenberg Air Force Base as a test of Space Launch Complex 6 (SLC-6 or "Slick 6").

Wallpaper
Is it appropriate to have the wallpaper box for this photo? --Russoc4 05:13, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hypothetically, someone might want to display it on their computer on January 28 in memory/tribute to the mission team. Just a guess, anyway. Tony Myers 08:06, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think it is appropoiate becayse It helps rember the 6 passengers that were killed on the trip. It wouldnt be appropiate to do it just because it looks amazing. You can find better pictures better than that tragity.
Resolution
Is it appropriate to have this image in such a great resolution when given its quality it's not necessary? I mean, lets have this picture in a high resolution but then someone who has the original conventional photographic image should scan it with a higher dot per inch ratio (so in a higher quality). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.236.49.87 (talk) 20:42, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
