Do the shuttle and iss astronauts see the moon as we do on the earth?

[cslewis2011]

My son asked me if the moon is always full as seen from orbit. I think it is apreciably the same. E.g at new moon, the astronauts wouldn't see the moon. Is that true?

You are correct. As long as the orbit remains within certain altitude parameters the perspectives are as usual except much clearer because of no atmospheric interference..
