The moon doesn't rotate, so no night or day.
Of course the moon rotates. Once a month.

The dark side of the moon is a music album, not any description of reality.

The moon did have a "dark side", but stopped having one on October 7th 1959.

Hint: Africa used to be called "The Dark Contininent", and it wasn't because of the melatonin in the inhabitants' skin :)

Building nuclear power stations on the moon is probably not an issue that needs solving until we have a pretty decent sized base up there, or we want to start doing some actual mining/manufacturing up there.

Until then solar + RTGs make more sense.

Which was what I meant to convey, but stuffed it up.
I was thinking about how the moon presents the same side to us, & that there was always some part of the moon lit by the sun.
I neglected the fact that we don't see all of the same side, all of the time.
