Comment: I'm aware that blogs are not usually usable sources, but this one is the official blog of a scientific institution so I think it should be OK. Di (they-them) (talk) 03:19, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Article looks good and Earwig's is clear. Reviewing ALT0, the hook is interesting and is sourced well. The article cites Guinness World Records which circumvents any concern about the blog source in my opinion so it looks good. ―Panamitsu (talk) 08:04, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
Alt 1. Nice article, I knew little about these space pioneers before your page. To suggest a correction in the blurb, an uppercase 'Earth', thanks, but the main point of them returning to Earth with a parachute (have to make clear in was only by parachute and not in a space capsule if that is the case). The first two-time traveler to space, very good addition to Wikipedia. Randy Kryn (talk) 00:11, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
