For those of you kind of confused (like I was) as to how they’d already be seeing the far side: their outbound leg is enough “ahead” of the moon that their current view is about 1/3 far side. Obviously, they won’t be seeing the entire far side until they swing around and start heading home. (Diagram courtesy of issinfo.net/artemis)
