Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Everything checks out! Only caveat is I'm not fully sure which hook to choose — while ALT1 is my personal preference by a hair, the original hook feels more relevant in light of recent high-profile space explorations. Great work! Dylan620 (talk) 23:35, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer the original, personally. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 23:44, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
