Mission Space Que Error

[skipperg]

In the que they list some of the milestones in Space Flight. They list the Flights of Gemini 6 & 7 as the first docking in space. This is inaccurate!

Gemini 7 with Frank Borman and Jim Lovell were launched first with Gemini 6 with Wally Schirra and Tom Stafford launched 10 days later.

Gemini 7 was the target and Gemini 6 performed the first rendezvous. The spacecraft flew in formation and performed several maneuvers but DID NOT DOCK!

The first docking of 2 spacecraft occurred on March 16, 1966 by Gemini 8 with the crew of Neil Armstrong and David Scott.

Gemini 8 docked with an Agena target vehicle that was launched prior to Gemini 8. The docking took place on the 4th orbit of Gemini 8.

The first docking of 2 manned Spacecraft occurred during the Apollo 9 mission. When the first manned test of the unar module and Apollo separated in earth orbit and then later performend a rendezvous and docking.

Too much missions will make you spaced out

Ohh man wait until the CEO of HP hears about this.

He's right. Gemini 7/6 was only the first rendezvous in space with two craft being nose to nose.

Of course, on Gemini 8, moments after docking, all hell broke loose and the craft started wobbling out of control. A an OAMS thruster was stuck on due to a short circuit.

haha...someone should bring this to Disney's attention before August 15th! I'm surprised the NASA astronauts didn't point it out when they rode a week or two back!

Hmm... well, maybe Disney does know, and is working on it... anyways, great job on spotting that! Its pretty funny that something like that could make it out to the public.

Maybe this is similar to the oversight on that Space Mountain sign that said it was "Out of this would" instead of "out of this world":lol: :lol: :lol: Does Disney have proofreaders for their signs?? :hammer:

I guess not. You'd think with the budget M:S had,they could of had someone check the info.

OK, I volunteer to be the official WDI Sign Proofreader.
All I require are nice accomodations in Celebration, meals, and a park pass (gold will do).

It's a tough job, but I am up to the task.:animwink:

Incase the job gets too hard, dont be afraid to look for an assistant,such as *cough*a certain member of this board who is giving you this idea *cough* :lol:

 

[careship]

Could it have been done on purpose?

I know sometimes movies but in minor mistakes and there is a whole following of people who look for and discuss these mistakes.

I was being sarcastic. (However, there really are those people.)

 

[Mr D]

It might help if these proofreaders spoke english.....:lol:

 

[EvilMortimer]

Hmm, If you think this is bad, the whole Egyptian scene in Spaceship Earth is incorrect about them making the world's first piece of paper. We have found proof of older pieces in China. It's just one of those things that goes "overlooked." I bet they will fix that one now since it showed up on here. This is how the Space Mountain sign got fixed. (It's out of this world!) :lol:

 

[Portable Hole]

I noticed the incorrect "First Space Docking" was still there on Tuesday, but on Wednesday it had been removed, leaving a blank space in the milestones. So it looks like it's gonna be fixed before 8/15.

I have a picture somewhere of a bus stop for the COMTEMPORARY resort...

 

[MrNonacho]

There is still a sign outside MouseGears pointing the way to "Testrack."

Just wanted to let everyone on the site know that I emailed Disney Guest Relations about the error and Disney Management did contact me by phone. The lady was very nice and congenial and indicated that they would investigate it!

 

[ISTCrew20]

I dont know if this is an error or not, but, correct me if im wrong, but, I thought astronauts landed on the moon July 20th.....well, after days of looking, "July 20th", is not on the moon right to the left of the entrance:lookaroun

 

[MrNonacho]

I haven't seen anyone comment on this yet, but the queue error that was the topic of this thread has been fixed for several days now. It now reads "First Space Rendezvous."

 

[skipperg]

To the quote about them not putting the date of July 20 on the Apollo II landing site on the Moon Model. Somehow somebody deemed to put the launch dates of the Missions on the Moon Model instead of the landing dates.

I grew up during the 1960's and the spaceprogram was a major point during that time. Man landing on the Moon was considered the greatest achivement by mankind during the 20th century. Sunday July 20, 1969 was the date in history. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins the crew of Apollo 11.
