Giant blob of parenthetical OR excised
[edit]The following was contained in a single parenthetical. This is clearly original research, even though it's not bad as a contextual aid. My paragraph breaks. My clarification needed.
Zond-Proton had demonstrated the capability to land cosmonauts on the Moon on this flight, though there was a significant probability that the entry[clarification needed] and landing would not have been survivable.
Adapting ICBM boosters for human spaceflight had a legacy that goes back to the beginning, including the Titan ICBM for Gemini, the Atlas ICBM for Mercury, and the Soviet R-7 for the first human orbital missions. And even with suborbital missions, the Redstone of Project Mercury was a US Army IRBM.
President John F. Kennedy privately explained to NASA Administrator James Webb that the purpose of the human spaceflight program was as "a test of the system".[1][2]

Throw weight range may be wrong
[edit]For example, the article R-36 (missile) mentions that it has a throw weight of 8.8 tonnes, which is far less than the "60 to 90 tonnes" figure in this article. Ascchrvalstr (talk) 16:44, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
