The article currently includes scheduled launch dates for IM-2 and IM-3, relying on a dubious and unreliable source. Marking them as such. (— 𝐬𝐝𝐒𝐝𝐬 — - talk) 07:35, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
An industry-recognized reliable website, https://nextspaceflight.com/launches/details/6828 says NET (no earlier than) June, 2024. Ideally the article would reference an even better source reporting current status of the IM-2 lander. A journalist like Eric Berger, Irene Klotz, Joey Roullette, Bill Harwood, Marcia Dunn, Mark Carreau, etc. (Alternately a press release from one of the involved parties.) Something like, "The PRIME-1 payload is currently being integrated with the lander," or "The lander has been transported to Titusville for payload processing."

Here's a representative example from the IM-1 mission, dated Dec 4, 2023: https://www.intuitivemachines.com/post/intuitive-machines-nova-c-lunar-lander-arrives-in-cape-canaveral-florida Note that's more than two months before the launch. (— 𝐬𝐝𝐒𝐝𝐬 — - talk) 09:11, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
Would the intent of the infobox "production" section be better met at this point if "on order" was 2 and "built" was 1? (— 𝐬𝐝𝐒𝐝𝐬 — - talk) 08:39, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
As of 10:13 EST February 15, the "Payloads" subsection of the IM-1 mission is not being displayed in the article, leaving an orphaned paragraph about the art payload remaining. Not sure what the problem is. Blainster (talk) 15:16, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
Removing the re-used ref that I had added to the bare launch time in the IM-1 section fixes/restores the Payloads section display. Don't understand why. Blainster (talk) 15:46, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
Should we split off an article for the Odysseus and keep this page around for the probe-type? There are going to be two more launches and I fear that this page will feel more like a list of launches, instead of encyclopedic content on the actual probe that was launched. Scu ba (talk) 16:45, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
You're right, I'm just bringing it up because Odysseus probably has enough notability to warrant it's own article now, even before the landing, due to the massive amount of media coverage of it.
Here are some notable sources about the Odysseus launch:
I usually work in WP:BIO and there the rule is two non-syndicated independent and notable secondary sources warrant notability for a Wikipedia article. Scu ba (talk) 18:38, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
Note the article has been split. (— 𝐬𝐝𝐒𝐝𝐬 — - talk) 00:30, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
The Odysseus lander just made the very first burn of a rocket in space that uses a methane/ oxygen mixture. This is notable because most long range plans for future travel to the Moon and back, or to Mars and back incorporate methane/oxygen rockets which rockets will hopefully be able to use methane and oxygen generated on either the Moon or Mars. Should we put this noteworthy accomplishment in the article, and if so, where should we put it?Lighthumormonger (talk) 00:30, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
Note: I found out that both IM and myself were mistaken in this, so I struck it out. Lighthumormonger (talk) 01:50, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
You are right. Actually, I don't think the people at IM realized themselves that the Chinese had already beat them to the punch regarding the methalox! I've since reworded the claim so that it also mentions the Chinese accomplishment, and so that it hopefully puts the IM accomplishment into the right perspective here. It appears that the Chinese rocket did leave the Earth's orbit. It would have had to in order to deliver its upper stage into a heliocentric orbit. Thanks, Lighthumormonger (talk) 01:41, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
You're right again, darnit! I think I might have figured out what might make IM's methalox system a first ahead of the Chinese. Please tell me what you think about the way I just re-wrote it if you get a chance.
Thanks,

i belive that hte patch that has been shown in the article is of the im 1 mission . any recommdations to chage it as an image under subtopic IM-1 or if a new article about it gets created , in there can anyone transfer . thanks. RAZOR-X (talk) 06:16, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
I've just modified the To_do page a bit. Lighthumormonger (talk) 04:19, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
It might help with maintenance if the article were converted to using list-defined references. See WP:LDRHOW. (— 𝐬𝐝𝐒𝐝𝐬 — - talk) 09:09, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
Dear @Queen of Hearts:,
We believe that the Intuitive Machines Nova-C article will probably have some very heavy traffic over the next few weeks, due to the fact that should the Lander make a successful soft landing on the Moon tomorrow, this event will mark America's return to the surface of the moon after an absence there for over 50 years. Even if there is a crash landing, undoubtedly a lot of people will want to know what happened? So we would like to request if you could, please consider placing a one month "Extended confirmed protection" lock on this article starting today or tomorrow?
Thanks kindly,

Now we need to change a lot to the past tense :) Stoplookin9 :) Send me a message! 23:42, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
