"Before NASA sends astronauts to actually land on the Moon in 2028, they need to be absolutely certain that the Orion spacecraft, the Space Launch System rocket, and all the life-support systems work exactly as intended in the deep space environment where no quick rescue is possible."

It shouldn't be too difficult to add support for this. I authored a Go library which adds support for importing PDFs into a new PDF generator (either gofpdf or gopdf). It is around 2,500 lines of code: https://github.com/phpdave11/gofpdi
I am using an alternative which doesn't require any additional browser extensions, but it does require that each client installs a custom root certificate.
I have a split-DNS setup where I override the DNS entries for certain sites like reddit, twitter, and youtube so that they point to a local server. The local server returns privacy-friendly versions of those sites (e.g. spikecodes/libreddit).
I use the root certificate to sign SSL certificates for those domains which will be trusted by each client on the network as long as they've installed the custom root certificate.
That way, when I visit a reddit link from a google search, it automatically returns the privacy friendly version of the site, as long as the root certificate is installed.
This is especially nice using when using iDevices, because those don't support native browser extensions.

Neat setup but exercise caution with the root-cert (I guess cert pinning isn't a thing on Browsers, yet?).

I use ghostarchive.org to view YouTube videos (that fit its limits), nitter.net for twitter threads, and archive.is for reddit threads.

Locally installed root certificates override HSTS. Some regulated industries like banking are legally obligated to unwrap all TLS traffic, so locally installed roots allow for that.
This is a very interesting approach. I've been wanting a way to filter YouTube videos on my Apple TV so that only certain channels are whitelisted (my kids like to yell "butt" and "poop" at Siri which is... problematic). Seems like a custom root certificate would make this possible.
This was really educational! I love the design of the webpage, and I especially like how you can rotate the 3d diagrams and see each component from every angle.
If anyone is looking for a hands on educational model, my 6 year old and I put together a model V8 engine [1] (made by Haynes of technical manual fame I think) that does a pretty reasonable job of capturing the essence of the main parts of an internal combustion engine. It kept him (and me) thoroughly engrossed for a few hours.
It's really not that difficult if you read and understand the PDF specification. As a learning exercise, I created a simple PDF generator library that creates ASCII PDF documents (you can open them in Notepad) and includes comments about what each drawing instruction does.
