Why do you sometimes see the moon?
The moon can only be seen because it "borrows" the light from the sun. When the moon orbits the Earth the sunlit side of the moon changes - causing the moon to look like it changes shape. Many casual observers often believe that the moon's phases are caused by the Earth blocking the sun's light - this is not true, as the moon only passes through Earth's shadow occasionally.
Have humans orbited the dark side of the moon?
You probably mean the far side, not the dark side:There is no "dark side of the moon". Every point on the moon is illuminated for roughly 50% of the time, just like every point on earth.

Just like the near side.None of the Apollo missions landed or traveled to the far side of the moon ... the side that's invisible from earth ... mainly because they could not have communicated with earth by radio from there.
