All the landings were in the lighted portion
of the side of the moon facing Earth.
People who go to the moon are called astronauts.
No. Astronauts have orbited over the far side of the moon, but have never landed on it. The main reason is that they would be unable to communicate with Earth.
People who go to the moon are called astronauts. They undergo extensive training before embarking on a space mission to the moon.
Yes, astronauts from the Apollo missions landed on the moon between 1969 and 1972. Twelve American astronauts walked on the moon's surface during these missions.
No, there have been no astronauts landing or walking on the far side of the moon. None have landed in darkness there, either. It is considered too dangerous. This is because it is not possible for communication signals to reach the earth from the far side. Also, the terrain is very rough, making finding a landing site difficult in the dark. The landings must take place on the side of the moon facing earth, and in the light.Note: There is no "dark side of the moon" in reality. All sides of the moon get direct sunlight as the moon circles the earth. There is, however, only one side that faces earth, and it is the only side we see from here. That gives the moon a "back side" rather than a dark side.
