Actually, the "simple" answer to avoiding the f'ugly aspect of keeping the visible side pretty is....
Mine on the "Dark side (to the earth)" of the moon. Recall Earth only sees one side of its satellite moon due to rotation of moon and orbit being in synch. Just setup shop on the unseen side! Like all the science fiction alien invasions. Since it is Earth invading the moon, we'd definitely be the aliens invading... the moon! (So maybe not mars)
