Revived Moon Base plans[edit]

Maybe the recent reveal of a joint US/Russia Effort to build a space station orbiting the moon should go somewhere?

or is it too soon?

CRS listed among manned programs[edit]

Why is the subsection Commercial Resupply Services (2006–present) listed in the section Manned programs? It is the only program listed there not involving crew flight, contrary to its section title. Keavon (talk) 12:12, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

The short answer is that it supports the ISS, which is a manned program; it wouldn't really fit to just stick this with the "unmanned programs" section as it is currently written, all containing what are actually robotic space probes meant to explore space without crew. You've uncovered a problem with the way the article is structured. Unmanned spacecraft consisted historically of space probes, but in the age of the space station now includes unmanned support vehicles, and also space tugs (transfer vehicles).
