Improved to Good Article status by Kees08 (talk). Nominated by Coffeeandcrumbs (talk) at 21:07, 9 February 2019 (UTC).

• GA, in time, long enough, sourced, inline hook citations check out (ALT0, with offline sources, accepted AGF), QPQ done, image appropriately licensed. Kees08 and Coffeeandcrumbs, seems like there's some close paraphrasing here, here. here, and here. --Usernameunique (talk) 04:30, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

  Rephrased 1, 2, and 4. I do not think I can change the wording of the small match in 3. Let me know if you believe additional work is required. Kees08 (Talk) 04:17, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Pinging @Usernameunique:. Thanks. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 08:22, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Coffeeandcrumbs, there seem to be some additional minor issues here, here, here, here, and here. Thanks, --Usernameunique (talk) 04:38, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

@Usernameunique: I think this should be good now. See [1]--- Coffeeandcrumbs 01:35, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

All set now. --Usernameunique (talk) 16:39, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

• ALT2: ... that the 1957 launch of Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite, led to a period of public anxiety in the United States and accelerated the Space Race?
