Talk:Judith Resnik

Elementary School

T_T Okay, who wrote this article? They need to be beaned off the head. There is already an elementary school in Gaithersburg, Maryland named after her. It opened in 1992, current Principal is Dr. Roy Settles.

I SHOULD KNOW. I was in the FIRST kindergarten class as the school, I played on the construction area, I drove past it almost every day of my life. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Towson (talk • contribs) 21:08, May 10, 2006

Space Robotic Arm is called the Canadarm

Please give credit to the Canadian Space agency who designed the space robotic arm. It is called the Canadarm. 96.52.172.59 (talk) 23:51, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

Mentioned on Saturday Night Live

Unsure if this counts as WP:OR:

Dr. Resnik was the topic of a comedic bit on Saturday Night Live's Saturday Night News in March 1983, S8 E12:

“ Dr. Judith Resnik, a biological engineer, has been selected to fly in the twelfth Space Shuttle mission in March of next year. Dr. Resnik is the second woman named to the American Space Flight program. The first, of course, is entertainer Bette Midler who went up several years ago. ” — Brad Hall

The "over-the-shoulder" graphic was Dr. Resnik's individual photo, seen in this array of the 1978 Astronaut Class found at https://www.nasa.gov/image-article/1978-astronaut-class/ . Lent (talk) 00:03, 17 November 2024 (UTC)

The remains of the seven crew members were cremated, comingled and buried at the Space Shuttle Challenger Memorial?

"The remains of the seven crew members were cremated, comingled and buried at the Space Shuttle Challenger Memorial?" At least one other source says that the identifiable remains of the seven crew members were given to their families, and that only remains that could not be identified as coming from individual crew members were cremated and buried at the Space Shuttle Challenger Memorial -- and that Resnik was one of two crew members whose families chose to have their identified remains cremated separately and disposed of separately. Can someone confirm this per Wikipedia research and documentation protocols? 09:04, 9 February 2026 (UTC) ~2026-54398-6 (talk) 09:04, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Drive-by tagging

Article: She preferred to socialize with boys from the nearby Copley High School rather than from Firestone, where her intellectual reputation preceded her.

Source (fn 20): Judy liked to socialize with the Copley boys because at Firestone she was known as a brain and termed unapproachable on a pedestal. The boys at her own school didn't think of her as a girlfriend.

@CowboyJPA17: Provide your sources. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 23:38, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

Not 'drive by tagging.' That ISBN in fn 20 is not a valid source for that claim. CowboyJPA17 (talk) 01:45, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

Drive by Tagging & Disruptive Editing

User:Hawkeye7 is disruptively editing the article by continuing to remove other users edits and referring to an invalid source. User:Hawkeye7 has made multiple edits and continues to engage in drive by tagging by referring back to an invalid source and choosing not to improve the source or likewise provide a valid source. The ISBN for fn 20 does not support the claim, that User:Hawkeye7 continues to edit this article over, about a tragically deceased astronauts early dating life.

I was able to confirm the claims with the cited biography, Judith Resnik, Challenger Astronaut , pages 21-25. Its ISBN appears correct and valid as well, not sure why you're asserting otherwise. Having reviewed this, I'm not sure why you're accusing Hawkeye7 of driveby tagging, as that appears to be a more accurate description for your decision to add {{citation needed}}, seemingly without having read the citations given. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 18:11, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
