Interesting, solid GA on excellent sources, Russian sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I like the hook but am not sure about the capital Earthlings. July date fine by me. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:57, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but I don't see an inline cite for the hook fact. Yoninah (talk) 20:32, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

- @Yoninah: I have copied the source over to provide an inline citation. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 21:01, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Coffeeandcrumbs: this is the sentence with the hook fact that needs a cite: Zond 5 carried the first terrestrial organisms to return safely to Earth after flying around the Moon.
- ALT1 is a bit convoluted. How about piping the link?
