Default Who's Seen Most of the Earth's Surface?

Question's in the Subject line I guess.

I'd suppose the Apollo astronauts would have seen at least half the Earth's
surface at any one time.
Did any of them get to see the entire surface of the planet?

Only if it wasn't cloudy.

I believe the Apollo 17 astronauts saw practically a "full earth", so over
the course of a day they could have seen almost all of it.
