If leaving FAI record books aside: that doesn't answer the question,
whether A15's CMP orbited moon somewhen higher than in one of the
orbits united with his colleagues, so maybe he might be the sole
_real_ record holder. And this leads to a second interesting question,
who is/was the man farthest away from _any_ other human being, that
also can only be one of the lunar landing mission Apollo CMPs - that
must not necessarily the A15 CMP, but the one who had the highest
lunar orbit while solo flying...

No doubt one of the black programs missions to venus being they are
top secret the crews cant accept the award....
