if a human was buried on the dark side of the moon, would, if you went to see it 1 billion years from now still be as it was at the time of burial, to be discovered by a future advanced civilization to be brought back to life, and a better option for the rich rather than cryogenics ?

The moon is hit by metoerites at the same rate as the earth. Its just it does not suffer from weathering. Also it was cratered much more in the past, when more rubble from the formation of the solar system was around and this is basically what we see on the moon which preserves meteor history.

To be honest, its impossible to bury someone on the dark side of the moon, like the Earth, the moon rotates a single day in orbit, the only reason its called the dark side of the moon is because if one half of the planet is covered in night, with the moon shining on that side, the "Dark side" of the moon is the side in which daylight is shown. but yes, if you buried someone on the moon and then your ancestors went back 1 billion or so years after that person was buried, they would remain the same as when you buried them, as there is no bacteria to decay the body.

The "Dark side of the moon" isn't actually in continuous darkness. With few exceptions, nearly half of the moon is lit at most times. Infact there are times when the dark side is fully illuminated. The moon makes a full rotation once every time it completes an orbit of the Earth. It does this such that the same side of the moon always faces us. It's for this reason that we call the other side the "dark side".

If you were to bury someone on any side of the moon they'd probably become mummified but that's just a guess. They'd be in no condition to be brought back in a billion years though, that's for sure.

First each and every NASA image of the moon is available to the conventional public by way of a freedom of innovations act request we haven't any reason to think of that there are any residing beings on the moon or ever have been aside from the 12 men from earth who went there in the previous due 60s and early 70s. My question to you is what data do you have that any being inhabits the a ways component of the moon? You communicate in regards to the Apollo missions to the moon and use the boys who went there as a controversy that it quite is available, in spite of the undeniable fact that NASA had to deliver each and every component they had to stay inclusive of the air they breathed, at ultimate NASA became purely waiting to stay on the moon for 4 days the area station gets each and every little thing it desires from earth, it quite is rarely self helping. SO we come to a available VS achievable argument. is it available that some as of yet undetected base or colony exist now or has existed in the previous on the a ways component of the moon? that answer might make certain yet very very not likely. Now the question od is it achievable that an as of yet undetected colony or base exist now or ever existed on the a ways component of the moon? that answer is not any. the component some conspiracy concept is human beings take the main not likely adventure or non adventure and invent the coolest judgment to help it , it quite is then only approximately impossible to apply real good judgment or reasoning as a rebuttal.

Just a little correction, there is no 'dark side' of the moon as is popularly thought. There is a 'far side' of the moon. The moon rotates like the earth (but much slower) so it has days and nights, so burynig a body on the 'dark side' would have no different effect to burying it on the 'light side'.

I think the body would preserve well enough, it would dry out and mummify, but I don't think it would last long, as given the amount of craters on the moon, it wouldn't be long before the body was hit by a meteor or other lump of flying space rock.

Contrary to popular belief, bodies DON'T explode when exposed to depressurization in space. From wikipedia:"Contrary to imagery in the public media (such as in Total Recall), a short term exposure to space of up to 30 seconds is unlikely to cause permanent physical damage."

The body would most likely freeze. It would probably be a somewhat destructive freezing process. But the lack of atmosphere would significantly slow the decomposing process.

You would have to bury the body very deeply to avoid expansion
owing to vacuum, and dust (mini black holes of atomic size) which
pepper the moon all the time, and would pierce his body. I suggest
a tough metal airtight coffin, buried deep, and then you may be able
to go into a very special "undertaker‘s" business.

you ever notice how many craters the moon has? a billion years from now the moon might have long been destroyed by asteroids or at least re-cratered so heavily it wouldnt even be recognizable.

If put there frozen it would remain, basically as it was.

There is no real point though; once the minds electrical mapping has gone (at point of death), if you were able to reanimate the body there will be a different mind, that's if it can actually be reanimated...

The body would undergo the normal chemistry of decomposition
in the early stages. These changes are internal.
