Google trends proves that the FAR more common phrasing worldwide (with almost 3X the searches) is "per aspera ad astra" and not the other way around.

See https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=%22per%20aspera%20ad%20astra%22,%22ad%20astra%20per%20aspera%22

In fact, only in 6 out of 76 tracked regions the second phrasing is more common:

Argentina (57% of the searches)

New Zealand (58%)

United States (59%)

Philippines (68%)

Indonesia (69%)

Jamaica (100%)

In all other regions the first phrasing is more common.
