We always see the same side of the moon from all over the earth. That is why there was , what was called a 'dark side of the moon `' because humans could not see it from earth .It was not really dark all the time as the sun shined on (the dark side) when we could not see. It was only fully dark when we have a full moon.

Pretty much. And from any other location on Earth too. But the Moon doesn't keep exactly the same side facing Earth. Libration, or a slight nodding motion, allows us to see a few percent of the far side at different times, right at the limb or edge of the visible disk.

We always see the same side of the moon from anywhere on Earth.

You cannot see the far side of the moon from any location in the world, because of the rotation of the moon in relation to the rotation of the earth.

The side of the moon that is visible is the same one for every place on earth.
However, the back side of the moon is never visible. Only NASA gave us the first pictures of it. Nothing spectacular.

Definitely YES.
That is why we include "The dark side of the Moon" in stories and songs because there is a certain mystery about it.
Go to the link below to see exactly why. I use the site to teach my class about the same question.

The Moon is in synchronous rotation, meaning that it keeps nearly the same face turned toward Earth at all times (there is a small variation, called libration). So mostly yes.

Yes. All observers always see the same side of the moon because it does not rotate.

the way the moon moves makes it so everyone on earth sees the same side and itll stay like that till everyones dead. then noone will see it.
