  • Comment: The hooks are essentially the same but deal with the difficulty of describing what the first spaceflight was differently. The source clearly supports the original hook - which I prefer - but one could still argue that Sputnik 1 was not the first spaceflight. In that case, ALT 1 or ALT 2 would be closer to reality. A second point is the image: I am not knowledgeable enough on copyright to know if the copyright information about the image is sufficient.

Created by WatkynBassett (talk). Self-nominated at 07:04, 2 September 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Vladimír Mandl; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• Reviewing... New enough, long enough, QPQ provided, copyvio okay. Will complete soon. Whispyhistory (talk) 16:07, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

... Hook is in the article followed by an inline citation to a reliable source containing the hook. The article appears well written and researched. Random check of parts appear okay. Image is in public domain and clear. AGF on the indepth information in the article. Whispyhistory (talk) 07:19, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
