  • New enough. Long enough. QPQ done. Image suitable for main page. Earwig found no close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations or plagiarism. NPOV observed. All paragraphs well-cited. Hook is interesting. However, the sentence beginning "The poem critiques the US space program..." on which the hook relies needs a cite, even if the hook could arguably be inferred from other cited content in the article.

  • @Edwardx: It's the same citation as the following sentence, so seems like citekill, but okay, I've duplicated it. Vanamonde (Talk) 15:01, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
  • Thanks. My experience of the DYK process suggests that it is better to head off the possibility of pedantry further down the line. Hook checks out with cited source. Good to go. Edwardx (talk) 17:47, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
