Height incorrectly stated as Width (in Infobox)
editThe height of the orbiter (17.86 m) is incorrectly shown as its width. I tried editing to change 'Width' to 'Height', but the entry just disappears when I preview. Can somebody with more experience (and an account) check and fix that please?

Unfortunately, while the hook is interesting to a broad audience, the article does not qualify for DYK. The article has not been created, expanded five-fold, or improved to good article status within the last seven days. As this appears to be your first DYK nomination, I suggest you read WP:DYK and understand the guidelines so that your future nominations will be more successful. If you need any help, the DYKchecker tool is very useful in determining if an article is eligible or not. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:19, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
Replica Orbiters
editThere is also a full size replica of the left half of Endeavour at the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, Kansas. I think it would be worth adding it to the list of replicas.
Here is an article from the Cosmosphere that mentions this: https://cosmo.org/blog/view/the-final-launch-of-the-space-shuttle-endeavour Rmcmullin (talk) 21:55, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
- There's surprisingly another missing replica. It goes by the name Ambassador and was at the KSC until the late 90s when it became a traveling exhibit. No clue what happened to it afterwards, but there are some photos still around.
