Lead

• "To enable its installation a Shuttle's payload bay, the diameter of the Centaur's liquid hydrogen tank was increased" - No matter how many times I read this, it just doesn't seem right. Not sure if it's a grammar error or a comprehension error on my end.

  Y Deleted this sentence. Don't think it needs to be in the lead. (Personally, I don't look at the lead much, and rarely pay much attention to it.)

• Probably a touch on the short side for the lead. None of the congressional stuff that is mentioned quite a bit in the article never appears in the lead, for instance.

• Expanded the lead. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 04:32, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Centaur

• "which were coming under intense scrutiny by increasing cost-conscious Congress" - Should this be increasingly?

  Y Yes. Corrected. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 04:32, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Space Shuttle upper stages

• "A series of study contracts wet let, resulting in a decision that the IUS would be an expendable solid-fuel upper stage" - Wet?

  Y Should have been "were". Corrected. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 04:32, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Deep space probes

• "On 6 February 1981 Strom Thurmond, the President pro tempore of the Senate, write directly to David Stockman" - You'll want the past tense of write

  Y Typo. Corrected. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 04:32, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Congressional approval

• "and reduce the number of Moons visited by half when it got there" - Not convinced that Moons should be capitalized

  Y De-capped. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 04:32, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Design

• "On 30 August 1982 A meeting of representatives of the NASA centers" - Lowercase A, and comma after 1982

  Y De-capped. Comma added. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 04:32, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

• The payload length given in the prose for Centaur G Prime varies from that given in the infobox

  Y Fixed this. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 04:32, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Infobox

• Not seeing where the gross and empty masses are cited anywhere

  Y Added. In practice, things were more complicated. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 04:32, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Management

• "He was an Associate administrator at NASA Headquarters" - I'm pretty sure either Associate should be lowercase or administrator should be capitalized

  Y De-capped. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 04:32, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

• "in 1985. this permitted an increase in staff for the first time in 20" - Start the sentence off with a capital letter

  Y De-capped. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 04:32, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

• Is it Marty Winkler or Marty Winkkler? Page 189 of this PDF suggests Winkler. You use Winkkler.

  Y Typo. Corrected. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 04:32, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Preparations

• "The theme music from Star War was played, a crowd of 300" - I do believe it's Star Wars

  Y Corrected. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 04:32, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

• "SC-1 as then flown to the Kennedy Space Center, where it was mated with CISS-1, which had arrived two months before." - Was, not as?

  Y Corrected. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 04:32, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

That's it, I think. Mostly just copy editing stuff. Placing on hold. Hog Farm _Bacon 01:08, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
