I guess it looks like IM decided they needed an extra two hours to crunch the numbers before they could properly set their lander down on the Moon, so they decided to take one extra spin around the "old cheeseball," just to give themselves the time they need to make their calculations. They just bumped out their ETA on the Moon by exactly 2 hours. As a result of this, I just found out a very interesting factoid.

Speedy deletion nomination of Galaxy Express Corporation
You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.
Thank you.
A tag has been placed on Galaxy Express Corporation requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Shirik (talk) 09:49, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

An interesting article
Check this out: IM-1 Makes History by Igniting Cryogenic Engine in Deep Space, just in case you might be in need of any "light bedtime reading material." Thanks for putting up with all of my many shortcomings here. I may not be the best editor in Wikipedia but I do try! Good working with you my friend!!

PS: Nice talk page.
- Good find! this part in particular:
- "Nova-C is the first spacecraft in history to use cryogenic propellants for a multi-day flight, let alone an interplanetary mission. It therefore represents a major advance in the state of the art for cryofluid management, which is an enabling technology"
- Thanks for mentioning the article here. (— 𝐬𝐝𝐒𝐝𝐬 — - talk) 07:45, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
Yes, I've noticed that IM changed the wording of their claim significantly after we refused to "verify" their initial claim so to speak. I honestly think that they were so focused on their own development program that they completely overlooked the fact that the Chinese had used methalox in space last year! I honestly think that probably someone at IM read our article and realized that we (you) had retracted our endorsement of their claim and that they had better reword their claim so that it would not be in conflict with the legitimate Chinese claim. What do you think about that?
Thanks,

PS: I agree with you entirely that we certainly do not want to inadvertently foster another space-race with military undertones. A space race that is on its face a race between commercial entities and not between nations is an entirely different beastie, which is what I think we will do best to foster at Wikipedia. Thank you for your good insights and forethought on this point.
PPS: I agree also that the "reworded claim" as you have pointed out above, is now suitable to go into the article. If you could please add that in, or if you don't do it by the time of their landing, I will do it myself, if that's OK with you. Thanks again, Lighthumormonger (talk) 17:47, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
Invitation to join New pages patrol
Hello Sdsds!
- The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
- We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
- Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Wikipedia’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
- Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
- If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.
Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

Intuitive Machine's extra orbit of the Moon
I guess it looks like IM decided they needed an extra two hours to crunch the numbers before they could properly set their lander down on the Moon, so they decided to take one extra spin around the "old cheeseball," just to give themselves the time they need to make their calculations. They just bumped out their ETA on the Moon by exactly 2 hours. As a result of this, I just found out a very interesting factoid. Did you know that when orbiting any rocky planet, that the orbital period of a low orbit always averages out to about two hours, regardless of the planet's size? Any thoughts about IM's decision to give themselves two more hours?
