When we’re wrong,
we say so.
This policy applies across Space Daily’s five sections: Space & Missions, Universe, Earth & Life, Science & Engineering and Human Factors.
How to request a correction
Email corrections@brownbrothers.io with the article URL and a short description of what needs correcting. The more specific you can be (the exact passage, the source for the correct version) the faster we can act.
We review every correction report we receive. Confirmed material errors are corrected with a dated note explaining what was wrong and what changed. If an article’s central premise cannot be supported, we withdraw it and preserve an explanatory notice at the original address where appropriate.
What counts as a correction
All factual errors are corrected, whether they surface in a launch report, a research summary, or an analysis of the space sector. Material errors and substantial revisions carry a dated note explaining what changed. Minor factual imprecision, spelling, formatting, broken links, replacement of a source link where the underlying claim is unchanged, and clarifications that do not substantially change what readers were told may be corrected silently. Where an article’s central premise cannot stand, we withdraw it and, where appropriate, leave a notice at the original address.
Updates vs. corrections
Sometimes the world changes after we publish — a launch slips, a person changes roles, a study is retracted. We update articles to reflect the new state of facts, and indicate the date of the most recent update. Updates that materially change the original article’s conclusion are treated as corrections.
When we won’t correct
We don’t remove articles for editorial reasons unless they contain a serious factual error we can’t fix in place. We don’t adjust pieces to reflect later reader disagreement with a position, only to fix verifiable factual errors.
