"A Chinese base on the dark side of the moon. Sounds like the plot to an old Bond film"
Can't disagree with that! However, there is some serious thought about a lunar telescope on the far side of the moon. Not as an alternative to Mauna Kea of course, but there are some potential advantages.

Obviously, a full EIS will need to be done first though.
