Selection missions 13 & 14

@Fotaun: Hello. The current version includes a lot of details for the selection of the missions 13 & 14, and it actually dominates the whole page, but being that that particular selection process has it own article, we should only present here a brief summary. In fact, the text should be as long as that for missions 1 - 12. I strongly suggest to trim it for this standard Manual of Style. Cheers, BatteryIncluded (talk) 19:20, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

An anon trimmed these out and I wanted to work through them to make sure it was ok. I don't have a problem expanding the sections, and the latest one can probably be longer, however, its fine to shrink them down. Thank you Fotaun (talk) 15:51, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

OK, So lets migrate the abundant details to the parent article: Selection of Discovery Mission 13 and 14, per Wikipedia:Summary style. Cheers, BatteryIncluded (talk) 15:58, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

SIMPLEx

I am writing an article on NASA's SIMPLEx program here on Wikipedia [12], but I think it will do better as a section in an already existing article. I considered putting it on the Planetary Missions Program Office page, but others didn't feel like it fit on that page because it didn't seem to be managed by the Planetary Missions Program Office. [13] I was reading the most recent decadal survey and learned that SIMPLEx is managed as part of the Discovery program, so I want to add a section about the SIMPLEx program on this page? Does anyone agree with me? Nrl103 (talk) 01:24, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
