If NASA needs a new goal aside from simply getting back into space over and over, a telescope sited on the dark side of the Moon would make a lot of sense. Too much sense for NASA, though, I fear.

NASA HAS a goal. It's called the Vision for Space Exploration, back to the Moon and Mars (although really we should be funding them to do both at the same time). The problem with it is the idiots in congress would rather bring pork home to their districts than fund a project that would give you guys pride in your nation.

You're so much smarter than NASA.
By the way, there's no "dark side" of the moon. It has days and nights the same way the earth does.
The far side of the moon would be a good place for a telescope though, because it would be shielded from the earth.
