Problems[edit]

It's not orbital, it's suborbital. The difference is an order of magnitude for speed, and several for energy. (Mach 3 vs. Mach 20)
The vehicle is not intended to extract them. Extraction is very specifically left to other means.

I've made the changes to address this. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 09:17, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Are they going to make them lifting bodies? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.238.88.184 (talk) 01:24, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Space Marines[edit]

Why is there a link to the Warhammer 40k space marines in this article? It is unrelated, and if we are going to add fantasy stories as well, Starship Troopers imo would be a more apt fit as they are humans using the similar technology, but again, that is still personal opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chocrates (talk • contribs) 02:10, 16 October 2012 (UTC) No, halo orbital drop shock troopers is better118.136.5.186 (talk) 03:05, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Broken Links[edit]

Just about every link is broken except for the "Why We Must Sustain..." one and the February 2006 article from The Space Review. 173.52.242.194 (talk) 02:11, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
