1965 in spaceflight

The Timeline of Spaceflight WikiProject has identified this article as requiring cleanup and/or expansion to ensure consistency with other timeline aricles.

Concerns have been raised that:

inconsistent date formats are present in the article (d mmmm format should be used throughout)
a large amount of launch information is missing
no specific references are given
the article uses an out-of-date header and/or footer, which requires replacement

See Wikipedia:WikiProject Timeline of spaceflight for guidelines on how to improve the article.
