No longer needy[edit]
This article had a note saying it needed in-line citations. I looked at the article, and at the moment every mission listed has at least one in-line citation, so I think that this issue has been addressed, and I deleted the note. Geoffrey.landis (talk) 19:15, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
G competition[edit]
The Gemini 11 mission used a tether to generate a very tiny amount of artificial gravity. Is that the largest amount that has ever been created in space? Is there a later experiment that came anywhere near 0.1 g? GoodExplainer (talk) 22:21, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
This tiny amount still holds the record for an intentional (manned) experiment of that kind. But in general astronauts have experienced much greater (and violent sometimes) centrifugal acelerations while in space (See for example the Gemini VIII incident).Artriant (talk) 22:36, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
Link rot[edit]
Several links (incl. NASA Tethers in Space Handbook, the ESTCube-1 link, The Multi-application Survivable Tether (MAST) Experiment, and possibly others I haven't checked yet) no longer exist. I'm sadly not familiar with the archive bot process. All except the NASA handbook are present on archive.org. Can we replace these references with the archived versions?
