Has our flybys to the far side of the moon changed any of our views of the universe and man's role in it?
Until unmanned space vehicles made a flyby to the far side of the moon, we earthlings have seen only the earthside of the moon. Has new knowledge (if any) resulting from flyby data changed any or introduce new perspectives on our views on the universe and of the the earth-moon "partnership"?

The only suprising thing about the far side of the moon is that it seems to lack the basalt "seas" that are so prominent on the near side. Other than that, it's got the usual craters. I don't know if they've found a reason for the lack of seas, but if there is a reason its probably very interesting. I doubt there is, though.

flybys of the far side of the moon?, i thought the moon has 1/6 earth's gravity so that means it is spinning and there for has days and nights, sure the days and nights are way longer than earths but would the dark side of the moon eventually be on the day side at some point, so what is the need for a flyby of the dark side when you could just wait till the dark side is in the light again?

they might see the previous. If the digital camera exchange into 3 billion easy years away, then they might see what the planet appeared like 3 billion years in the past. If the digital camera exchange right into one million million easy years away then they may be finding at what Earth appeared like one million million years in the past.
