History of NASA article

I just finished a massive rewrite of the NASA history section, cleaning it up significantly and making it chronological readable. However, the history of NASA is too big to be just a section on this article. If there are any talk page lurkers who want to create a

History of NASA page, this would be a good time to do it and then link it as the main article under the history sub-section here. Garuda28 (talk) 02:12, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply

@Garuda28 I have just marked the history section with Template:Very long section. Hopefully this could prompt others to look at creating a dedicated history article. Strugglehouse (talk) 20:34, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, as every time a split is made for a page it will lose readers. The history of NASA is very long because NASA's history is long. Should be all on one page, the main NASA page. I'm going to remove the verylong tag because it actually asks editors to make a split, which is a problem with the tag not only on this page but pretty much any major article that it's used on.

I agree. This rewrite was already as massive consolidation from what it replaced. Garuda28 (talk) 23:52, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It may be a good rewrite, thanks, although it seems the Mercury and Gemini, and even Apollo and Skylab information could be added back or expanded. Can some of the major editors here check it. Randy Kryn (talk) 23:56, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not certain whether these sources, rather than secondary sources as currently used, are preferred for this. Are there reliable secondary sources easily available? (sdsds - talk) 04:45, 3 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It seems to me that in this context the use of a primary source falls within the criteria of both
