They are going there because the can’t be (easily) watched.
Putting up a notice on the dark side of the moon: “Attention: Aliens! Come on in! We have lots of guei with stupid brains inside soft skulls. Delicious! We are giving them away. Make great slaves, if you are not hungry.

That was my first thought too. I wonder if the LRO could snap some photos...
LRO (Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter) was the first U.S. mission to the Moon in over 10 years [launched June 18, 2009]. LRO created a 3D map of the Moon, as part of a program to identify future landing sites and resources – including deposits of water ice shadowed in polar craters. LRO continues to orbit the Moon.
