Which I think is important. Of course we have the lunar orbiter which has been mapping the entire moon in very great detail, only our eyes can "see" it with true 3 dimensional vision. Yes the Lunar orbiter can calculate height in very minute details and we can combine those with the visual pictures to come up with a 3D simulation of what it looks like, but only with "biological analog" vision can details be seen in TRUE 3D! People are so soaked into their 2D world of phones, PC screens and HD TV's, we still cannot transfer a true 3D image to our eyes of an object. So this is a big deal as the first humans to finally see the Dark Side of the Moon!

Some may say I'm wrong but I'm not, I'm an Analog Kid
