Hansen is the first non-US citizen to travel to the moon. They are currently viewing and photographing the dark side (more correctly the far side of the moon). Previously Apollo 13 held the record for the farthest travel from Earth, but Artemis II has now beat that record.

The LM-L0 Star Chart (A) was a volvelle wheel flown on the Apollo 11 mission and depicted the night sky as projected for the time the Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle was scheduled to lift off the lunar surface to rendezvous with the orbiting command module Columbia.

This NASA library costs a tiny fraction of the budget. Not even a rounding error. Closing it seems like it's not about saving money.
