From the article: "On 28 December 1967 a decision was made to replace the glass windows in LM-1 with aluminum windows, as a precaution against a failure in flight similar to the one that occurred on LM-5 in testing."
"...with a safe return to Earth" is in the very first sentence of the article body. It's unnecessary (and clunky) to have it also in the last sentence of the lead.

Hello. Interesting article, thanks for writing it and bringing it to FA. Two areas I think it could possibly touch on more are 1) technical details of what they were testing and what the outcomes were, and 2) aftermath in general (aftermath of the tests, and detailed effects on and how it set the stage for the next Apollo missions).
