You would have a GREAT view of the stars and other planets, with none of that silly "Earth" stuff to get in the way.

The earth !
Why are there no maps of the far side of the moon?
There are plenty of maps of the far side of the moon, simply type "moon map far side" into the web browser of your choice. But we had to wait until we could get something to orbit the moon to get them, as the Moon always have the same side facing Earth. The Earth side, we could make maps as soon as we hade decent telescopes. And of course, you have no way of knowing if they are correct or not.

Is the Moon's dark side the far side?

Why did the Apollo missions land on the lighted side of the moon?
No side of the Moon is permanently lit or dark, of course. A full Lunar day is about 29 earth days, and both sides get both night and day during it. The habit of calling the far side of the Moon, "the dark side of the Moon" has lead to this confusion. So they landed on the lit side so they could see to land and explore. They could not wait and land on the other side when it was lit a couple of weeks later, because landing on the far side of the Moon would mean they could not transmit to Earth, as the Moon itself would be in the way.
When the moon is in its new phase what can you infer about the opposite side of the moon?
The far side of the moon is always opposite of the visible side. When the moon is new, it is between the Sun and the earth. Since we see the dark side of the moon, the opposite side must be fully lit by the sun. Likewise when we see a gibbous moon, the far side would be a crescent. When we see a full moon, the far side is in complete darkness.
