“The Moon doesn’t have a dark side any more than the Earth does.”
I hope you are aware that the Moon does not rotate on its axis like Earth does and that the same side of the Moon always faces earth. For us it may as well be the dark side because we never see it unless we send a spacecraft to circle the moon and photograph the side that never faces Earth.
Its also interesting that NASA to my knowledge has never declassified more than about 30% of the detailed mapping images of the back side of the Moon. I cannot imagine that anything on either side of the Moon in most any detail would be in the interest of “National Security” to that extent, or would have ever needed to be classified in the first place.
Things that are hidden for no valid reason always arouse suspicion...
Reminds me of children in a school playground... na na na na na na..I know something you don’t.
Why do you make excuses for people who ignorantly and thoughtlessly use the phrase “dark side of the Moon”?
There is no dark side of the Moon. It’s that simple.
There is a far side of the Moon. That’s what it should be called.
If I remember correctly, 59% of the moon is visible at one time or another from the earth because of peculiaries of the moon's movememts. The other 41% was never seen by people until 1959 when the Soviets photographed the far side.
I was just pointing out that the Moon (like Earth) does not have a fixed dark side.
For someone to live on the dark side, would imply that they were in nearly constant motion. (which doesn’t really make sense)
Perhaps the author of the article meant ‘far side’ instead of ‘dark side’, but had a synapse misfire?
On second thought, maybe they were trying to make fun of the ET/UFO folks.
