Am I weird, or was that really touching?
As a kid I always imagined the far side being perpetually dark, pummeled by space rocks every second and in general being a very unpleasant place to hang out for the aliens that have bases there to keep an eye on us and abduct the occasional cow. Still, even if adult me knows more and
of course the far side gets some sun, I have to say it's kind've a relief to see it lit up for reals.
