There's a few things that I think could improve the article:

• A gallery, see STS-114, there are many public domain images made available by NASA and more will be released during the flight.
• Following launch the timeline could change from Day one, Day two etc. to dates. - or at least change them to "Flight day two", and make all the "day" headings the same level of heading - currently the flight days are lesser headings than the dates such as July 1.
• The wake up songs and their meanings could be listed.
• Links for watching the flight - NASA TV + mirrors, landing tracking etc. could be added
• A section on thoughts on foam safety prior to launch, and a section on the changes made between sts-114 and this flight.
• Detail on the equipment being taken up, most items could well deserve articles of their own.
• Linking the article from other appriopriate articles, and submitting key events to Wikipedia:In_the_news_section_on_the_Main_Page/Candidates

• Since i created STS-121 Timeline The timeline section will be cleaned up.

In anyone else has suggestions they don't have the time/ability/inclination to act on themselves then do add them above. Richard Taylor 00:57, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Space missions has a list of articles which will all need updating after the launch occurs - see the "New missions actions" sections. If it occurs on schedule I will be out of town myself. Rmhermen 14:18, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Media file of the shuttle landing would be execellent! -- Shane ^{(talk/contrib)} 20:50, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm thinking if we could move the timeline to a separate page so we can have the article as short as possible. Could any administrators do it? Thanks. Bigtop 06:24, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There's now a separate page STS-121 Timeline, so the ==Timeline== section needs to be cut down in this article to just a summary, to avoid duplicating all that information. 131.111.8.98 17:21, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 2 external links on STS-121. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/20060723042544/http://mynasa.nasa.gov/pdf/149873main_sts121_press_kit.pdf to http://mynasa.nasa.gov/pdf/149873main_sts121_press_kit.pdf
• Added archive https://web.archive.org/20060619035520/http://www.damec.dk:80/vis.asp?id=41 to http://www.damec.dk/vis.asp?id=41
