Far Side of the Moon Frank Borman

Sun City, Arizona, USA
Artist Statement
Frank Borman and fellow Apollo VIII astronauts Anders and Lovell were the first to see the “far side” of the Moon. The topography is different than that of the “front”. I chose to show Borman with the never seen view of the Moon.
