I think about it every year on October 7, which is the date the first photos of the far side of the moon were taken:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Luna_3_moon.jpg
For probably the first time ever, living creatures saw the dark side of the moon.
Thank you for correctly calling it the far side of the moon and not the dark —
Damn.
i wonder how many microorganisms have ended up surviving being flung out from the atmosphere such that they could theoretically have seen the far side of the moon if they had eyes..
