::{{Replyto|Mahndrsn}} I'd call that a good catch. I think it's easy enough to decipher the intent of the statement, which was clumsily worded. I went ahead and boldly fixed it. I think we should follow up with a "failures" section to explain the above (which would also improve the balance of the article). Do you have good sources for those?

== Only section not to cause an abort? ==
In the second paragraph it is claimed that
"Apollo/Saturn space vehicle, the only component never to suffer a failure that could not be corrected in time to prevent abort of a landing mission."
This is erroneous. The only component of the Apollo/Saturn space vehicle which ever failed causing a landing mission to abort was the service module of Apollo 13 (the only aborted landing mission). The Apollo command module and the Saturn V launch vehicle both had zero landing mission abort causing failures in service although significant difficulties which were potentially mission threatening were encountered.
I suspect that the argument being made is that the LM, unlike the CSM stack, never caused a landing mission abort which is accurate. However, including the Saturn launch vehicle as well makes the claim of uniqueness incorrect since that never caused an abort either.
I think that this claim should be dropped entirely, or heavily clarified.

:Thanks, and other editors will come by to have a look at your comment. But since Wikipedia is your encyclopedia as much as anyone's, you could edit the data yourself (and then watch to see if anyone reverts you, which is a good time to take it to the talk page). In reading your comment I'm seeing a good writer and observer, and am encouraging you to look at and edit other articles to find other mistakes in language, information, etc. Welcome aboard!
