• Don't really have any issues with the article, think it's well sourced, long and new enough... But do you really only have 1 DYK credit? Kingoflettuce (talk) 15:23, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

• @Kingoflettuce: To the best of my knowledge I've only nominated 1. I don't know of any others I've been credited for. Although I've done a bit of work on current affairs topics over the years, they tend to end up in WP:ITN. Seddon ^talk 20:37, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

• excellent then! New enough, long enoughx no copyvio ascertained, neutrally worded, interesting hook, QPQ not required. About time you got #2! Kingoflettuce (talk) 03:42, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

• The text copied from the webpage should be put in quotes or rewritten in your own words. Yoninah (talk) 19:19, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

• @Yoninah: That text was added by an Exolaunch employee (that I subsequently partial blocked) so in this instance there is no violation on my part but I'm happy to reword it. Seddon ^talk 23:55, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
•  Done Seddon ^talk 00:00, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

• Thank you. Restoring tick per Kingoflettuce's review. Yoninah (talk) 09:39, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

• @Seddon: I was going to promote this to prep, but the hook isn't very interesting, especially considering the subject matter. Can you suggest some other options? The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 02:33, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

• @The Squirrel Conspiracy: - I've dug around some sources and added in a new line that I think sounds cooler. Seddon ^talk 22:49, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

• Restoring tick. Alt1 is also properly sourced. Everything else is unchanged from Kingoflettuce's review. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 00:02, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
