See Talk:Timeline of transportation technology --- I removed several satellites which are covered on that list and I think don't represent advances in rocket technology. I wonder if Pioneer 10 should go too. Rmhermen 02:18, Dec 13, 2003 (UTC)
- I guess this article should also cover, as the title indicates, advances in missile technology (mostly thinking of military missiles, I must admit); for now, the coverage seems only to be of space rocket relevance. But perhaps this bias comes from the article being a relatively new one? BTW, I second Rmhermen's opinion of the Pioneer 10 item. --Wernher 02:27, 13 Dec 2003 (UTC)
2009: Steam rocket
Steam rocket is not the real rocket. It just revolve around its bearing and could not fly. So it is not proper to categorize this thing as a rocket. Steam rocket is only a fanciful name of an ancient Steam Engine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.120.237.31 (talk) 05:14, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
2012
I'd have to recommend removing many mentions of spaceflight in this article. Shouldn't the launching of Sputnik on an ICBM-based rocket be enough here? There is no need to start mentioning private spaceships, ion drives (not rockets), US launches if Russia did it first, ISS-related items, etc. I feel that about two-thirds of the entries after 1957 should be removed. Thoughts? MattFromOntario (talk) 02:21, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

First launch of the PGM-17 Thor
The timeline gives the year of first launch as 1956. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PGM-17_Thor#Phase_I_test_launches gives the first launch as 1957, however. 1956 is when engine tests commenced. NelC (talk) 23:43, 10 April 2023 (UTC)
