>a quantum data processing center on the dark side of the moon, a location perfect for it due to the lack of high heat.

Perhaps you mean the 'far side' of the Moon. There is no 'dark side' of the Moon, however. Since there is no permanent darkness on the far side there is no thermal advantage to locating a data processing center (or anything else) there. It does permanently face away from the Earth, but it gets the same amount of sunlight as the rest of the Moon.

Unfortunately, this misunderstanding of the nature of the Moon casts doubt on your entire post.

>advantage to locating a deep space radio receiver

Agreed. Faces away from Earth and terrestrial sources of radio and other forms of EM energy that would create interference for a radio receiver. Free of pigeons, too.

The Moon does rotate. I've observed libration myself. It is usually described as being 'tidally locked' with Earth, but for an observer above either pole of the Earth the rotation would be obvious through each lunation.

Yes. The 'face' always faces the Earth because the rotation period of the Moon (the spin on its own axis) closely matches the revolution period (the time it takes to complete an orbit of the Earth).

Negative. There is no dark side. Think of the Sun, 93 million miles away - it illuminates an entire hemisphere of the Moon at all times, even the parts of the Moon that face away from Earth.

>The sun doesn't do the same to the earth does it?

The sun illuminates half of each sphere all the time. The spheres rotate. Earth rotates once in 24 hours giving us a day/night cycle. The Moon rotates once every 28 days creating a lunar light/dark cycle.

Grab a tennis ball and a flashlight. Place the flashlight some distance away. Half the ball is illuminated at a time. Spin the ball. All of the ball's surface rotates into and out of the light.

Both the Earth and Moon experience this. It's just a question of how fast you spin the ball. 24 hours or 28 days per spin.

I understand. At any given time there is half a sphere that is not illuminated. It is not a permanent situation, however, and it is not the same location. There is a hemisphere in shadow throughout the lunar month but not a permanent dark side due to lunar rotation. Any place dark today will see sunrise within 14 days.

Affirmative. A prominent entertainer's spouse had a serious post-vax vascular condition and now the entertainer has facial paralysis.
