Actually you can only see the whole moon in space. On earth you can only see about half.
No, Just the half of it. That's what the term "dark side of the Moon" stands for. The "dark side" of the Moon is the side unseen from Earth.
The moon rotates on its axis once in the time that it take for it to orbit the Earth at this time of its history. The result is that the same side always faces the earth. so we only ever get to see one face of it, while the other side remained a mystery, at least until we managed to go there and have a look.

Does the moon turning?
Yes, the moon turns. The moon rotates once on its axis during one revolution around the earth. If it did not rotate, then we would be able to see the entire surface of the moon from earth. The moon is 'tidally locked' with the earth, which is why its period of rotation is the same as its period of revolution.

Could you see earth if you were standing on the dark side of the moon?
If you look down, you will see the surface of the moon. If you look up, you will be able to see other celestial bodies in the sky, such as Earth, stars, other planets, etc., as long as they are not currently below the horizon of the moon. However, since the moon keeps the same face toward the Earth, if you are not on the side facing Earth, you will not see the Earth at all.
