You probably mean the far side, not the dark side:
- There is no "dark side of the moon". Every point on the moon is illuminated for roughly 50% of the time, just like every point on earth. So sometimes the far side is light, and sometimes it's dark. Just like the near side.
- None of the Apollo missions landed or traveled to the far side of the moon ... the side that's invisible from earth ... mainly because they could not have communicated with earth by radio from there.

∙ 15y agoOf course, many times. It really is no more dark than the face that we see from earth. It probably makes more sense to refer to it as the far side. Half of the moon is always lit by the sun, unless the earth's shadow obscures the sun for a time. If astronauts were orbiting the moon around the time of new moon on earth, they would look down on the far-side surface of the moon and see it fully illuminated by the sun.

Humans inhabiting Earth never see the dark side of the moon.
