I short,
The moon is not a natural satellite but a hollowed out planetoid driven in orbit 826.000 years ago when the Earth was first colonized. It stays in orbit like a ship, which it was, and that is why it does not spin around (the only "natural" object that defies cosmic laws
)
It has plenty of life, structures, bases, buildings etc that were used and still are. on the "Dark Side"
The NASA programs are just a show for public consumption. The real space pogram makes Star Wars kiddie play.
The moon actually does rotate as it orbits earth. It rotates on its axis by one full rotation for each rotation it makes around the earth. If the moon didn't rotate on its axis as it circled the earth, then we would be able to see all sides of the moon, which we know we cannot.
Try out this little experiment for yourself to satisfy your curisity. Take two tennis balls. Then, rotate one around the other. The only way for the rotating tennis ball to keep the same face against the stationary ball is for the rotating ball to actually rotate on its own axis - precisely one axial rotation for every rotation around the stationary ball.
Now, do it again. But this time, using the rotating ball, don't allow it to rotate on it's axis. Take a pen and put a little dot on the rotating ball. Now, have that pen dot face you the entire time you rotate the ball around the stationary ball. You'll see that, behold, the stationary ball gets to see all "sides" (if you will pardon the geometrical faux pas) of the rotating ball.
And since we know we only see one "side" (again, haha!) of the moon, we therefore know that the moon must in fact rotate on its own axis. Precisely once per rotation around the earth.
And now, this nerd is shutting down for a beer.
For what it's worth, I'm still a big Sev fan!
