Overall: 
The article is an interesting read. There is no issue for me, everything checks out. Paraphrasing issues were settled during the GA nomination process. The picture is used in the the gallery section of the article, not in the prose, but I don't think this is a problem. Both hooks are interesting. although I prefer ALT1 which I feel would appeal more to broad audience. Just waiting for a QPQ. Lulusword (talk) 06:29, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
On second check, I realise that the nominator is exempted from a QPQ. I tweak the hook ALT0 a bit to incorporate the image into the hook. Previously, I said I preferred ALT1 but there's no image to go with it so I take it back. If there is any image that can go with ALT1 instead, feel free to add. Otherwise, this is good to go.

- @Lulusword: Thanks for the review! I think either hook is fine. For ALT1, I don't have a great image honestly. However, I thought that DYK would, more-likely-than-not, not have an image? Some ideas of an image for ALT1 if I'm mistaken though: File:SLS_green_run-01.png could be used, but it is a closeup on the bottom of the rocket and I don't think it would make much sense to a wide audience. I don't think a render of the rocket on the ground such as File:Sls_block1_on-pad_sunrisesmall.jpg would work well with a hook about thrust. An ideal image would be the rocket in flight, but that hasn't happened yet, so we only have simulations and renders, which are less than ideal. An example is File:Orange tank SLS - Post-CDR.jpg (or another file in commons:Category:Illustrations of Space Launch System). I don't think it looks good and it's obviously a computer render. If ALT1 needs an image, that last one is the least bad I suppose. If this DYK would take the top spot with an image though, it should be ALT0 in my opinion. I've edited it in. Thanks again!

- @Leijurv: The image looks great! Can you put it somewhere in the article too so it can be used in the hook? Lulusword (talk) 06:15, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
- @Lulusword: Sure thing, done! Leijurv (talk) 08:13, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

- @Theleekycauldron: The total liftoff thrust is not explicitly stated in the article but the thrust for all of the stages firing at liftoff is stated. The combined thrust could be added quickly if needed. DeltaDizzy (talk) 15:00, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
