- Keep. I suspect many English speakers who've never studied Latin would have come across this term and wanted to look it up. It's even a popular movie. — Dentonius 17:42, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

- (The variant per aspera ad astra is slightly more common; we also have a talk page Talk:per aspera ad astra.)
