→GA Review: fixed a couple more |

Line 29:
**{{Fixed}} It is really just a bunch of wind tunnel test data that shows how a very large rocket body (about 3.3 metres in diameter and over 50 metres long behaves at a bunch of different velocities and altitudes in the atmosphere, with the rocket body moving through the atmosphere in various orientations. It's all quite essential for coding up the control algorithms to tell the engines and thrusters what to do based on where the returning rocket finds itself. But I can really see how that esoteric info was quite unclear with the term "re-entry database". Good catch! — [[User:N2e|N2e]] ([[User talk:N2e|talk]]) 22:40, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
*[[NASA]] can be linked in the first instance.
*"reusable rocket system that will be powered by LOX/methane, "an evolution of SpaceX's Falcon 9 booster", and reiterated SpaceX's commitment to develop a vertical landing breakthrough technology." - "reusable rocket system to be powered by LOX/methane, "an evolution of SpaceX's Falcon 9 booster", and reiterated SpaceX's commitment to develop a vertical landing technology." - update tense, rm "breakthrough" - don't think it's needed.
**This one is a bit more complex; principally because it is not a second LOX/methane technology; it is a second ''reusable rocket system'', and this one will be ''both'' much larger, and also will be powered by a different fuel (LOX/methane rather than LOX/RP-1 as in the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy). At any rate, I've made a stab at making it more clear. See what you think. [[User:N2e|N2e]] ([[User talk:N2e|talk]]) 22:54, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
*"24-story" - this needs a source, preferably for the height in metres. In terms of buildings, the spelling should be storey.
*"SpaceX made history in September 2013 when it relit" - "In September 2013, SpaceX successfully for the first time relit" - seems a bit promotional. My wording isn't great, it's just the "made history" that doesn't feel quite right.
**I've copyedited this, and eliminated the "made history." Yes, sounds a bit promotional in that form. It was an historic event, and something that had not been successfully accomplished with a booster rocket strictly under rocket-control (no aeronautical flight surfaces like wings or a lifting body, etc.) previously. See what you think. [[User:N2e|N2e]] ([[User talk:N2e|talk]]) 23:51, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
*"for March 2014 at the earliest." - another ref needed. I'll stop referring to refs by number since they might change unpredictably as you add or move them.
**{{Fixed}} — and good idea on referring to them by some other means. I'll just search for your textual clues. [[User:N2e|N2e]] ([[User talk:N2e|talk]]) 23:51, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
*[[Transonic]] can be linked.
*There is inconsistent use of full stops in '''Technology.''' I think it's just 3 that are needed.
