Comment: wouldn't it be better to have it as TFA one of the days in July? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:31, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
I believe Wehwalt would prefer a different anniversary for the TFA: his birthday (June 6), the launch date of Gemini 8 (March 16), or launch date of Apollo 9 (March 3). The July anniversary is not especially relevant to Scott. Neil Armstrong was his commander during the Gemini 8 mission which mentioned in the blurb above. Armstrong is the TFA for July 21 so it would also be nice to have a DYK of Scott as a possibility. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 01:10, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
Understand.
Detailed FA, on excellent sources, offline sources accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and stunning. Original hook with image, the other if without. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:13, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
