Personally I thought the original hook could have been interesting, but maybe it's because I have an interest in astronomy and spaceflight, and I do understand where the concerns about lack of interest to a broad audience are coming from. With that said, perhaps a hook about it being the main habitat module of the Lunar Gateway or a hook about it being planned to launch at the same time as a crewed Orion spacecraft would work?

• @Narutolovehinata5 and Buidhe: - I've created some optional hooks. Seddon ^talk 03:07, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

The ones about "stealing" the payload have promise and could work as April Fools hooks, but I'd like to hear other thoughts on the matter (in any case, they're better than the original hook). @Buidhe: Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 03:14, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

I don't know about how April Fool's hooks are done but is it verifiable? The article doesn't mention "steal". (t · c) buidhe 03:16, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

The article says that it could "switch" launch providers, which isn't necessarily a "steal". However, for AFD hooks we do tend to be more loose with the allowed wordings, hence why I suggested that those wordings could work for AFD (they would be too imprecise to work on any other date).

In addition, while ALT4 could work in case the "steal" hooks don't work out (and unlike those hooks, could probably run on a regular set on the quirky slot), the issue right now is that the article makes no mention of the arm being "optional" (in addition, there's a minor typo in a nearby sentence: "maybe" instead of "may be").

• I've taken the liberty of bolding and labeling the alternate hooks. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:56, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Pinging Buidhe for another look. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:08, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

I'm not sure, so I'll let someone else evaluate the alternate hooks. (t · c) buidhe 02:10, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
