The same issue of Air&Space contains an article entitled "Resist the
Pull of Mars" in which the author talks about "The dark far side of the
moon..." being a good place to conduct " ...sensitive radio astronomy...
without interference from terrestrial signals."

Since this is a credible magazine, I should give the guy the benefit
of the doubt and assume he is talking about the period of time that the
moon appears full from the perspective of the earth, but that's not how
it reads.
