Starting review...

  • Add a short explanation of what the Karman Line is, per WP:TECHNICAL.
  • The spacecraft touched back down safely in the Chihuahuan Desert Add that it landed in the part of the desert that's in Texas (as most of it appears to be in Mexico).
    It used to be in the aritcle, but you deleted it (I don't know why) in Special:Diff/1301175651. RoySmith (talk) 13:48, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the word 'Chihuahuan' because it didn't appear in the cited source.--Launchballer 13:54, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ah. Then that was a good call. RoySmith (talk) 13:58, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Kesha uploaded sarcastic posts to social media.[19] nme.com got a mixed review at WP:RSN. It's probably not the worst source you could find, but for controversial (and negative) statements related to living people, I'd be looking for something better. Also, the source doesn't say "sarcastic"; that appears to be an interpretation which shouldn't be stated in WP:WIKIVOICE.
Trimmed sarcastic. I'm not sure how contentious 'person participating in much-mocked event is further mocked by person known to dislike them' is, but replaced with the Independent.--Launchballer 13:30, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Wasn't able to find an archive copy, so cut.--Launchballer 13:30, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • As a general note, please archive all the sources: not strictly a WP:GACR, but please do it anyway.
I just set WP:IABOT on this.--Launchballer 13:36, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Lauren Sánchez, fiancée of Blue Origin founder as I understand it, no longer financee.
Added.--Launchballer 13:30, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • The flight took off from the Blue Origin Launch Site southeast of El Paso, Texas on April 14, 2025, at 13:30:00 UTC (8:30 am CDT, local time at the launch site).[9][10] A tweet as a source in a GA? Not so much.
I... can't tell what that could possibly be used for, so cut.--Launchballer 13:30, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Except as noted above, all the sources seem like WP:RS. As far as a spot-check goes, I concentrated on the Reception section, looking at IIRC every citation. I didn't see any issues other than the few noted above.
  • The Reception section appears to do a good job of WP:NPOV, covering both sides.

That's it for a first pass. RoySmith (talk) 00:45, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @Flipandflopped: as conominator for awareness; will do in the morning at the earliest (I'm exhausted from a hospital appointment).--Launchballer 01:32, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I’m currently on vacation but have some time to kill in the airport tomorrow - I can address these then if Launchballer hasn’t yet. Cheers, FlipandFlopped ㋡ 06:19, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think I got everything?--Launchballer 13:30, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
OK, this looks like it meets all the WP:GACR now. To be honest, I'm dubious that every single flight like this meets WP:N, but it seems to be accepted that they do, so I'll not wage that battle here. RoySmith (talk) 15:52, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
