> I DO however, happen to believe that the idea of building a massive deep space telescope on the far side of the moon has massive potential

You are aware that, in the words of the PinkFloyd: "there is no dark side of the moon".

The moon orbits the earth, for half of its 28 day orbit the other side of the moon would point toward the sun.

There are are way better places to put a space telescope if you don''t need it to be in LEO
