Overall: Draft was moved to article space yesterday. It has a readable prose size of 3453 characters. Each paragraph has a reference. WP:EARWIG shows no copyright violations. The hook is interesting. No QPQ was performed so far. Please ping me once it is performed or if none is needed because you have less than 5 nominations. As a sidenote: I would suggest adding a date to the lead to let readers know when the experiment started. Phlsph7 (talk) 09:01, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

@Phlsph7: I've pulled a QPQ to from another DYK that's yet to be reviewed and will do a new one for the other nom. Seddon ^talk 16:16, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

approve, looks good. Phlsph7 (talk) 16:44, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

@Phlsph7 and Seddon: I made a few edits to add projects to the talk page and categories to the article. I would like to change a word in the hook from "kept" to "continuously" without objection. Also we should consider putting the year or years WP:DYKCOMPLETE in the lead and body of the article. Also we should link Apollo 17 in our article and it should appear in the lead.

Alt1 also works fine. I agree that having the date and the relation to Apollo 17 in the lead would be better. Phlsph7 (talk) 16:39, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

@Bruxton: works for me! 23:54, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
