  • Comment: I much prefer the "extra toasty" ALT1 hook, personally, but I wanted to give reviewers a more serious version for consideration as well.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Aside from one broken link, this article is good to go, I believe. It doesn't appear to have been captured by the Internet Archive, due to robots.txt, and I'm not finding a suitable replacement source for it. Other than this minor issue, congratulations on the good work, JFG! (Also, I personally prefer the first hook given, but I'd be fine with ALT1, especially considering your strong preference for it.)

@Michael Barera: I have replaced the dead link at NZ Herald with the original AP writeup. Thanks for the glowing review! — JFG talk 04:40, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
In addition to being extra toasty, ALT1 features an educational link about the Kármán line defining the boundary to outer space; thus readers can learn much more than the exploits of this individual rocket. — JFG talk 13:40, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
Thanks, JFG! Everything looks good to go to me. I'm fine with ALT1 so long as "extra toasty" is in quotation marks, as it is now. Thanks again for your hard work on this article! Michael Barera (talk) 01:52, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
