Yes, I keep reading that this is the first time humans have seen the far side of the moon, it's the first photo of Earth taken from behind the moon, etc. In fairness, Apollo 8 was probably before these journalists were born. But, still... [SMH]

I thought it was interesting how the extra boost needed to get Artemis out of Earth orbit was still there to deal with during re-entry. Also, the lunar orbit is more complicated than you might think. Amazing stuff.
