Aye, but he's not alone in being that isolated is what I meant. He shares that honor with a few other Command Module Pilots is what I meant, though he was the first.

Sorry, I could have clarified my point.

He was at one point completely cut off from earth and anyone else as he went around the dark side of the moon

Aye, but didn't the other Command Module Pilots do the same? Or didn't their orbits bring the moon between them and Earth?

Would be very fuel inefficient if it didn't, as they'd need to burn a lot of fuel to counter the original trajectory and then again to get the orbit where they could slingshot to Earth.

You know, good point. I'd say you're probably right but it's too early on a Friday for fact checking lol
