No, it "crashed" on the surface of the moon on 11th October 1967.

It impacted the lunar surface on command at 7 degrees N latitude, 161 degrees E longitude (selenographic coordinates) on the Moon's far side on October 29, 1966 on its 577th orbit. The early end to the nominal one year mission was due to the small amount of remaining attitude control gas and other deteriorating conditions and was planned to avoid transmission interference with Lunar Orbiter 2.

the same thing an astranaut uses.

Me? I use my T.I.E. fighter, but most astronauts use a moon orbiter - a small capsule attach to a huge rocket that gets them into space and near the moon. The orbiter has small jets to control where it goes in orbit. In some of the missions there has been a lander that separated from the orbiter and allowed astronauts to walk on the moon, then rejoin the orbiter for the trip home. Note: The Lunar orbiters have all been 1 time use vehicles and the Space Shuttle was never designed as a lunar orbiter, but as an Earth Orbiter, a freight truck between earth surface and low earth orbit.

The most recent pictures taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter do not have a high enough resolution to show the LRVs, but you can see the tracks they left during the missions. See "Related Links" below.

Absolutely, and if you look closely at the images taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (see "related links" below), you can still clearly see those tracks.
