Dragon 2

It seems that future missions will be Dragon 2. Would it make sense for SpaceX_Dragon to describe Dragon 2, and the SpaceX_Dragon 1 page to describe Dragon 1? Gah4 (talk) 20:59, 2 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

♺ in List of missions

A few entries are marked with the `♺` character, but there is no key for that sign. Please add information about the meaning of the character; I assume these are re-entries of the capsules, but would be nice to have it explicitly stated. D-Woźniak (talk) 11:55, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dragon XL work not started

Can someone less lazy than me add a note here that Dragon XL work hasn't actually started: https://spacenews.com/nasa-delays-starting-contract-with-spacex-for-gateway-cargo-services/ Greg (talk) 19:31, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Propose Split, again

The Dragon 1 is now retired, Dragon 2 has its own article, and Dragon XL is still under development. This article is still a confused mess that tries to be about Dragon 1 and also about all SpaceX Dragons. I propose that we transfer the Dragon 1 material (the bulk of the article) into SpaceX Dragon 1, which is now a redirect, and repurpose this SpaceX Dragon into a short article about the whole SpaceX Dragon family, with a new lede. -Arch dude (talk) 16:35, 24 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK starting split. -Arch dude (talk) 02:05, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

OK, this article is now about the family. It needs a lot of work. I hacked it in chunks because somebody edited over top of me in spite of my "under construction" template and I lost a bunch of work on my first try. My bad. -Arch dude (talk) 03:33, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation page
