- 02:25, 28 November 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+53) . . m Thrust-to-weight ratio (→Physical background: forgot about docking)
- 17:08, 23 November 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+9) . . Thrust-to-weight ratio (→Physical background: +good catch. I improved the wording a bit)
- 17:01, 23 November 2013 (diff | hist) . . (-1) . . m Gravity turn (→Timing: There! It screwed up the spacing again. This time I made sure there was only 2 carriage returns and it still put in an extra one)
- 17:00, 23 November 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+4) . . m Gravity turn (→Timing: +moved the example to the end)
- 16:55, 23 November 2013 (diff | hist) . . (-2) . . m Gravity turn (Somehow the spacing got screwed up. I swear it wasn't like that when I clicked "Save page"...)
- 16:54, 23 November 2013 (diff | hist) . . (-2) . . m Gravity turn (Typos everywhere!)
- 16:49, 23 November 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+22) . . Gravity turn (→Timing: typos and stuff)
- 16:43, 23 November 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+478) . . Gravity turn (→Timing: +removed the "least efficient" paragraph since it's now covered in the Mechanics section +added bits for path obstructions and gravity/TWR)
- 09:51, 23 November 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+148) . . Thrust-to-weight ratio (→Physical background: I can't believe I forgot this HUGE reason for non-constant TWR...)
- 09:23, 23 November 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+490) . . Gravity turn (→Mechanics: +more accurate wording (you're always "fighting gravity") +a better intro to be more self-apparent)
- 15:44, 22 November 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+75) . . Gravity turn (→Timing: +it's not all spent "resisting gravity". If that were true, that craft would have a TWR of exactly 1 and would never take off the surface +other edits, more accurate wording)
- 15:02, 22 November 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+2) . . m Gravity turn (→Mechanics: better wording I think)

- 10:55, 18 November 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+943) . . Gravity turn (+reordered opening sentence to remove a later one +added a bit about descent +moved bits of Mechanics section to Timing +other Timing and TWR changes +removed the mess of a last TWR paragraph)
- 09:16, 18 November 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+606) . . Gravity turn (→Mechanics: +simplified +a couple changes to words with more accurate connotations +gravity is only an "acceleration assist" if you're falling towards the body)
- 14:43, 6 November 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+48) . . Aerobraking (+aerobraking isn't just used to moons +other succinct edits)
- 16:17, 4 November 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+90) . . Gravity turn (→Mechanics: rewrote paragraph 1 to be a little more self explanatory. +"no vertical speed" is only achieved in a perfectly circular orbit +also fixed paragraph 2)
- 08:05, 3 November 2013 (diff | hist) . . (-3) . . m Deep Space Kraken (+changed a word. These things weren't "mythological", written about with gods and such +typo)
- 07:45, 3 November 2013 (diff | hist) . . (-1) . . m Gravity turn (spacing typo)
- 07:44, 3 November 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+243) . . Gravity turn (+rewrote the intro section +corrected some other typos)

- 08:06, 31 October 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+298) . . Gravity turn (added an analogy, cleaned up a bunch of clumsy sentences)
- 07:00, 16 October 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+160) . . m Deep Space Kraken (added a link about where the term "kraken" comes from)
- 17:08, 9 October 2013 (diff | hist) . . (-10) . . Thrust-to-weight ratio (+reordered opening sentences for better flow +removed this other goofy, repetitive sentence and added bits of it to the next)
- 16:46, 8 October 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+89) . . Thrust-to-weight ratio (you can also use parachutes on bodies with atmospheres. Also cleaned up the Physical background section)
- 01:12, 7 October 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+26) . . Thrust-to-weight ratio (Capitalized TWR as acronym goes. Added a bit about momentum too since it's possible to enter a body's gravity well with zero thrust and still escape. I couldn't think of a non-clumsy way to word it though. Feel free to edit)
- 23:33, 6 October 2013 (diff | hist) . . (-158) . . Thrust-to-weight ratio (editing out wrong info)

- 22:41, 6 October 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+118) . . m Kerbal Space Center (→Tracking Station: added a bit about recovery and celestial body viewing)
- 19:00, 6 October 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+24) . . m Thrust-to-weight ratio (→Physical background: better wording)
- 18:57, 6 October 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+680) . . Thrust-to-weight ratio (better opening paragraph)
- 16:39, 4 October 2013 (diff | hist) . . (-2) . . m Tutorial: Gravity Assist ("heading" would be more accurate since the way your craft is moving isn't always the way it's pointing...)
- 17:03, 1 October 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+21) . . m Tutorial: Gravity Assist
- 16:59, 1 October 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+15) . . m Tutorial: Gravity Assist (diagram clarification)
- 14:09, 27 September 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+48) . . m Tutorial: Gravity Assist (left out an important bit in the opening sentence, some other clarification)
- 23:59, 26 September 2013 (diff | hist) . . (-1) . . m Tutorial: Gravity Assist (sounds better than "conserving" I think. Feel free to revert if you like.)
- 23:57, 26 September 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+38) . . N Slingshot (redirect to the page for the correct term) (current)

- 22:44, 25 September 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+4) . . Tutorial: Gravity Assist (they can be used to decrease speed too. Plus a more succinct sentence.)
- 22:40, 25 September 2013 (diff | hist) . . (0) . . Tutorial: Gravity Assist (typo)
- 22:40, 25 September 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+48) . . m Tutorial: Gravity Assist (I left out the efficiency part...)
- 22:38, 25 September 2013 (diff | hist) . . (+222) . . Tutorial: Gravity Assist (I rewrote the whole first paragraph. A little clarification since you're always in the SOI of a celestial body.)
