    Well, for one thing, the term "dark side of the moon" is a misnomer. All sides of the moon see light at one time or another. The "dark side" simply never faces the earth, because both are turning at a constant rate, keeping the dark side facing away from us. The astronauts never landed on it because its further away, and therefore takes more energy to get to.

      Because it would have presented a radio communication problem. You can't talk back to earth from there.
