rocket_ship / rocketship / space_shuttle -> spaceship

In case people like to use different terms to mean the same vehicle.

I'd implicate space_shuttle rather than aliasing it, because it refers to a specific type of spacecraft.

One can argue that a "rocket ship" is also a specific style of spaceship, referring to those that have a rocket shape, such as post #623796

I'm actually against the idea of labeling the space shuttle a spaceship. It doesn't look like a spaceship, and it can't even get out of our orbit... can't even reach the moon. Kind of a failure of a spaceship imo.

So what should each wiki say about these?

space_shuttle ≡ A plane-like space vehicle launched vertically with aide of a rocket, and landed as a glider with atmospheric control. Examples include the US Space Shuttle and the Soviet Buran .

rocket_ship ≡ A tube shaped space vessel with a pointed nose, and usually with stabilization fins and a powerful lift-off engine at the base. Examples include the Saturn V rocket with a payload, and Flash Gordon's spaceship.

flying_saucer ≡ A disc shaped space vessel often popularized by UFO descriptions and early 20th century Sci-Fi. Examples include the vessel in The Day the Earth Stood Still , and Red Noah from Fushigi no Umi no Nadia.

spaceship ≡ Any vehicle capable of manned spaceflight, includes space shuttles, rocket ships, flying saucers, and any other configuration such as Star Trek's Enterprise, Star Wars' X-wings and Tie-Fighters, or Uchuu Senkan Yamato's rendition of the Battleship Yamato.

I prefer space_craft. If nothing else, it can be used to encapsulate all of those and possibly be used as a grouping tag later.

Just something that can have all outer space related vehicles under one search, while having their own tags.

space_craft is a good umbrella tag. So how about aliasing spaceship to it and implicating the other three to space_craft? Also aliasing rocketship to rocket_ship.

Sounds good.

that works for me

Done.

Thank you
I will tag the rocket ships later.
