Scientists and engineers craft radio telescope bound for the moon

"... infamously inhospitable place: the lunar far side. Named for its inability to be seen from Earth, this area of the moon sits in total darkness for 14 Earth days followed by 14 days of brutal sunlight. Without an atmosphere, temperatures swing from -280 to 280 degrees Fahrenheit and there’s no protection from cosmic radiation."

Just like the side of the moon that faces earth.

Sweet. This is like half the plot of Space Brothers. I love seeing fiction become reality.
