The wording of the introduction was chosen to place this subportal underneath the Portal:Technology. However it also does fall under the Portal:Space as a clear subtopic of it. I think we should resolve this overlap in a way that shows this portal as placed within both areas. However, if in doubt its main focus is still technology and that placement should not confuse the reader on this. Any comments? Awolf002 11:52, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Spaceflight means what, exactly? It says it is about spacecrafts. If yes, then Portal:Spaceflight seems to seek to cover a subsection of the total area of technology applied in the "use" of space. As I said above, the space exploration title is meant to signal the coverage of all this technology, including related technologies (eg radiation hard micro chips) and their inventors and usages. I think, this approach is valid. However, we need to flesh this out some more to clearly identify what separates the two portals... Awolf002 12:04, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Alright, point taken. So maybe I was thinking of the wrong term, and this Portal should be called Space technology? If that is still not separate enough from the concept Spaceflight, we should actually discuss if/how to merge the two portals... Awolf002 02:21, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
So, you're saying you want to merge the two portals? Or keep both Space technology and Space exploration (after renaming)? I still favor the idea of keeping them separate. Awolf002 11:09, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
I'm trying to figure out where I stand on this discussion (having just come across it), and frankly I'm so confused that I can't come up with an opinion, except that these categories seem to be getting way too complicated. If we can't figure out what is a subset of what, and what implies manned versus unmanned, how do we expect Wikipedia readers to be able to? MLilburne 12:12, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
I like the new addition of a "Astronaut of the week," however I would think we should change the headline. This portal focuses on technology and a biography of Robert H. Goddard must be in scope, too. How about just changing it to "Biography of the week"? Secondly, do we have enough biographies to cover a new article per week? Maybe per month will work better? Awolf002 11:50, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
I will by bold and change it... Awolf002 11:09, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
I have created a mockup for a "tabbed" version of this portal to cut down on the amount of scrolling when looking for certain topics. It looks half-way decent and so I like to hear suggestions and oppinions on how this may become the way this portal is organized. Cheers! Awolf002 18:23, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
I would like to get input on any useful expansion to the various sections in this portal, as well as comments on whether to use a single page or the proposed "tabbed" page approach. This portal does not have many contributors, so good ideas are very welcome! Awolf002 01:03, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I have went through and found an few issues.
These are just some initial thoughts I'll read through and let you know of anything else.— WilsBadKarma ( Talk) 04:07, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Hey, here's a few more:
As for tabbed pages, I would recommend only if you can fill such pages. Actually I think you could. Do like things you can do, and wikiprojects on one. Maybe can have News and did you know on another. I think theres enough for tabs, but you don't have em, if you do the main page right. Jo e I 20:41, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
I wonder if it makes sense for the maintainers of this portal to join forces with Portal:Spaceflight? The two are similar in scope.... ( sdsds - talk) 20:06, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Please see Portal talk:Spaceflight#Revisiting merger proposals. I have proposed that this portal is merged into Portal:Spaceflight. --GW_Simulations User Page | Talk 00:25, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 07:46, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
