Regarding the comment that "was the first spacecraft to make use of a 'gravitational slingshot' maneouvre" - didn't Apollo 13 basically do the same thing - the moon is a satellite and not a planet, but it's still the same basic idea. --DMG413 03:28, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
- actually it was the first to use the maneuver. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.246.204.154 (talk • contribs).

- What was the difference between what the two did? How does what Apollo 13 not qualify? --DMG413 03:40, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

- While apollo 13 cartianly changed dirrection it didn't really change it's speed. Our Gravitational slingshot article seems to indicate that the term can only be applied to interplanetry craft.Geni 14:38, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
