Far side != Dark side
One is the domain of humanoid cows, the other is the domain of absent fathers.
The phrase never meant dark as in "unlit". It has always meant dark as in "occult".
Depends what you mean by Dark side!
In traditional definitions, Far side = Dark side
If, when you say Dark side, you mean the side not receiving sunlight, then you're using a less informed, though more literal, definition of 'dark'.
Far side from Earth can be not dark.
Far side from Sun is always.
The point is that we are all Earthlings, so the former applies.
It is this week. Which is interesting because the photo in the clip is the familiar near side -- I recognize the bunny.
It’s approximately the dark side when the moon is full, which happened two days ago.
Yes and (IIRC) they don't want to flyby while at full moon on the far side as to have some shadows to help differentiate the terrain

Who downvotes that? It is true.
Edit: maybe you can illuminate why you downvote?
I'm sure it's the flat-mooners downvoting.
The moon IS flat! Just like the Sun and the Earth.
Well, the Moon, Sun, and Earth are all flatter than most surfaces in my house, and I call those surfaces flat, so yeah...
There is no dark side of the moon really
Matter of fact, it's all dark
*heartbeats*
