We Disagree

We think that

No one on earth saw the far side of the moon until 1959, when the Soviet Lunik III spacecraft photographed it.
does not support the main idea of the lesson.  That main idea is
From the earth, we can see only the “near side” of the moon.
Details that help explain why we can see only the near side of the moon belong in the lesson.  Other details do not belong in the lesson.  They may belong in another lesson, but not in the one that explains why the near side of the moon always faces earth.
