Lunar Crater Telescope Sites
They built a radio telescope in a crater on earth. Will they be doing the same on the far side of the moon and if so have they started picking out which craters would be best?

Re: Lunar Crater Telescope Sites
I've read about the concept in astro mags or Science News or something and there was also mention in at least one sci-fi novel, but I've not seen anything about it for several years. But my info could out of date.

Perhaps China have already built a moon base on the far side
