I don't at all understand what you are trying to communicate to me. Yes, NASA has listed his various awards on their bio page. But we don't need to wholesale cut-and-paste them here. --ZimZalaBim talk 04:14, 16 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

enter so this much is ok it is from his official career, ZimZalaBim. and i wanted to ask whether if you agree the above awards are needed for this page, i will republish in a concise manner otherwise i will not publish it. Chinakpradhan (talk) 04:56, 16 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
The vast majority of these are awards that lack context and aren't notable in and of themselves (ie, what is the "SpaceX Kick-Ass Award"??). Do any of these have their own articles to indicate they are notable? I tend to agree with Wikipedia:Awards and accolades that we need to avoid listing every random award a person happens to have received at some point in their life. Again, Wikipedia is not a resume. --ZimZalaBim talk 05:04, 16 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
