... that NASA mechanical engineer Aaron Yazzie has compared the surface of Mars to the landscape near his Navajo Nation birthplace? Source: "Coincidentally, Mars’ crust reminds Yazzie of the Navajo Nation. “My family is from Tuba City, [Arizona] and every time I go back, it looks so similar. That’s something that I’ve been learning — that Earth and Mars are not that different,” Yazzie told Native Business." NASA Mechanical Engineer Aaron Yazzie Discusses His Work on Mars
I just noticed that the article itself never actually specifies Tuba is in the Navajo Nation and didn't link Mars either, but I've gone and made those fixes myself, as they were in the sources already included in the article.
Meets all requirements. My only suggestion is that the hook wikilinks to at least Mars and Navajo Nation. CMD (talk) 02:29, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
