Redirecting a woman astronaut to her husband astronaut entry is really something hard to find acceptable nowadays. Even more since she is supposed to fly before him. Hektor (talk) 15:55, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The French Wikipedia already did her bio: Anna Menon. Erick Soares3 (talk) 19:49, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I assumed this was a mistake and was confusing due to their similar names so have removed the links from her name to him to avoid confusion. I propose we do not link to her husband and wait until she gets a page of her own. Hopefully someone translates that article soon.

Would also be nice to discuss about the "space tourism" definition: while Inspiration4 was more focused (even if it was PR) on regular people, the Polaris program seems to be a technological development program (something more complex than a mere "joy ride"). I also question about considering Soyuz MS-19 as space tourism, since the movie crew weren't the first employers from a private company to fly (the first one was Charles D. Walker, STS-41-D).

I think we should just avoid the term here and lay out the facts. That it is a private mission with little government support operating both for charity and for advancing science and technology. Tourist carry’s connotations that I don’t think we should be adding on. Let the reader decide. 101.98.135.42 (talk) 22:47, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
