Astra Space → Astra, Inc. – This company is called "Astra" or "Astra, Inc.", not "Astra Space". Rename to "Astra, Inc." à la Tesla, Inc. --Soumyabrata (talk • subpages) 11:30, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree 2001:18C0:61C:700:A86F:24D7:2D04:E244 (talk) 08:32, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to be the best solution (Wikipedia:Naming conventions (companies)). --mfb (talk) 10:35, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

HELP ADMINISTRATOR, HELP ADMINISTRATOR, HELP ADMINISTRATOR, Soumyabrata prevents me from telling the truth about this article. MFB you saw my reference which was rejected by Soumyabrata. Can you notify an administrator. HELP, HELP, HELP,|answered=no|ans=no 2001:18C0:61C:700:849C:3108:509A:1CC (talk) 08:52, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Soumyabrata, thinks he's God and don't want us to tell the truth about this article. Thank you mfb. 2001:18C0:61C:700:849C:3108:509A:1CC (talk) 09:02, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Soumyabrata says my quote is not available. Which is entirely false. Anyone can access it. Besides, mfb had access to it. 2001:18C0:61C:700:849C:3108:509A:1CC (talk) 09:06, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Calm down. Sometimes websites don't load for whatever reason, or they are down temporarily. That can happen. Don't assume malice when bad luck is a perfectly plausible explanation. Besides: It's not a critical issue if it was September or October. --mfb (talk) 09:59, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Astra themselves says October [1]. OkayKenji ^{(talk page)} 15:49, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"scrubbed the DARPA launch challenge"?

@Soumya-8974: I interpret the article as just another day of delay. The title is confusing but the article makes it clear that they are still part of the challenge. --mfb (talk) 10:00, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Haven't been following this a lot but this article says they may not be part of the challenge (DARPA?) anymore. OkayKenji ^{(talk page)} 15:51, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

SUCCESS, not FAILURES: The launch will be the third for Astra, coming after two launches in July and November 2018. Both launched from the PSCA in Alaska. These were originally believed to be failures. However, Astra stated that the first was successful, and the second was only "shorter than planned". Neither were designed to reach orbit, as they didn’t have functioning second stages.^[1] Cordialement. 2001:18C0:61C:700:3DC6:63EE:9943:BFBE (talk) 06:00, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so they still launch, just missed the launch challenge parameters. I updated the article. (@IP: This is about the third launch only) --mfb (talk) 07:01, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@ mfb: Why updated only the third launch? 2001:18C0:61C:700:3DC6:63EE:9943:BFBE (talk) 08:24, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This discussion here is only about the third launch. Start a separate discussion if there is something else that needs to be discussed. --mfb (talk) 02:43, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
