I think it’s a great idea.
I haven’t looked at a “map” of our solar system and it’s place in our Galaxy in some time, but I suspect this observation platform will provide views of the Universe that we have never seen.

I read elsewhere that such a telescope would give us better pictures than even Hubble, due to the moon shielding it from radio interference from Earth.

Scientists have longed for a telescope at the South Pole, but that hasn't been feasible.
Satellites can give us a look, but they are moving so they can't give us long term exposure. No atmosphere and no artificial lighting should ensure fantastic views of fantastic things in a 'direction' we normally don't 'view'.
