New Moon mission -- who knew?

Twin Artemis Probes To Study Moon In 3D

Well, they cleverly maneuvered the satellites away from their original positions, into Lagrange points, and then into lunar orbit. But that wasn't how it was planned. I wondered when I read this when they had launched these moon probes, and when I found out it was in 2007, I was mildly surprised. This is a very clever retasking.
