Didn't they go round the back previously? :wacko:

Yes they have , the big difference from past missions is they are not on a course for lunar orbit. What they've done is to break the record for distance traveled based on planned flight path. Just like Apollo 13 they are set to do a big sling shot round the moon so are moving out to come back. They are on course to travel more than 270,000 miles. So will once they travel round the moon break Apollo 13's record (248,655 miles) . The difference this time it's planned and not due to an accident.
