It amused me reading Arthur C. Clarke's 1952 novel 'Islands In The Sky', in Chapter 9 (which in my book has been printed upside down as Chapter 6)
is the sentence:
'It was true that I had seen many films and photographs of the Moon's other side, and it was also true that it was very much the same as the visible face.'
I suppose Clarke wasn't to know he was wrong for another seven years! 😄
