Which sources? None of the ones on this article use such wording, and it's frankly an informal term Wikipedia should be avoiding if the person in question opts not to use it.
Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1352519935|1352519935]] by [[Special:Contributions/~2026-26970-50|~2026-26970-50]] ([[User talk:~2026-26970-50|talk]]) disagree - sources use this wording

Mhazandaren moved page [[List of people who flew to the Moon]] to [[List of people who have flown to the Moon]]: With Artemis II, humans flying to the Moon is now a thing of the present and not just the past, ending a 50+ year hiatus. The title should thus be in the present perfect tense (past and ongoing), not the simple past tense.
