@ScienceDesk Actually, the astronauts of Apollo 8 were the first men to see the far side of the moon with their own eyes, without the aid of optical devices. From their orbital altitude of 69 statute miles, Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and William Anders were able to describe the surface of the moon in detail. https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/moon-looking-moon-apollo-8/
