A strange little side quest
Between one round of In Space Html5 and the next, this is worth knowing: Humans did not see the Moon's far side until a Soviet spacecraft flew past it in 1959. And then there is this: Chess changed dramatically in Europe during the 15th and 16th centuries when the queen became the board's most powerful piece. That long chain of experiments is part of why space still feels fresh when a game finds the right twist.
