GTK+OSX isn't completely finished yet (this is the first release), but we hope everyone will start building native Mac GTK+ apps with it today.
Happy New Year,

It seems to me that a fleet of satellites or surface relay stations is excessive to communicate with a telescope on the far side of the moon. You only need one.
Put one relay satellite in orbit around the moon. It will not be in synchronous orbit for reasons already discussed. The satellite will be over the telescope on the far side part of the time, then on the earth-facing side. Assuming a real-time conversation with a telescope is unnecessary, the satellite can simply store transmissions until in position to relay.

Think email, not telephone.
