Further reading about the Lunar Crater Radio Telescope (LCRT):

They want to build the telescope on the far side of the Moon, to shield it from terrestrial (man-made) radiation. Is this premise in peril by other Moon missions? For example, do NASA or other space agencies have plans to build other bases on the far side of the moon, which could emit radiowaves which affect the LCRT?
