On the far side of the moon at approximately 45 S latitude and 150 W
longitude there are three craters named White, Chaffee and Grissom.  
This is about the same latitude as Tycho but 160 degrees on the 
other side.  Close by are other craters with such names as Mendel, 
Boltzmann, Liebnitz, Van de Graff and Oppenheimer.
