• - fact checks out in both cited sources - the article appears to be well-referenced. I did wonder whether either fact was the most interesting one there though - I thought it's eye-catching that Buzz Aldrin's dad married a woman called Marion G. Moon, so I've added that as a second ALT, but any work really. Rob (talk) 12:47, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
