What are they hiding?

When using the NASA website, quickmap.lroc.asu.edu/, we are able to view the near side of the lunar surface at the maximum resolution of 1.3"=50 meters as viewed on a typical 23 inch monitor. The best resolution of the far side that I can find is a photo that has a resolution 1.3"=250,000 meters. Realize that the identical orbiting camera is photographing both sides of the Moon. This discrepancy appears to indicate that there are things on the far side that would be very disconcerting to the average citizen. Does anyone else have a better explanation? Even the near side has many instances of blurring and pixlating of images as you zoom in to higher magnifications. Much of the Lunar detail is being hidden from us and wouldn't it be great if we could get the whole picture uncensored?

What could possibly be "very disconcerting to the average citizen?" This is a magnificent accomplishment assembling all these images into an easy to use web site. Now, if there were blank areas, like looking at the US Naval Observatory in Wash, D.C. in Google Earth, then I would be disconcerted.

Can you give a valid or complete link. I did a search on NASA and no results.
