From the earth’s perspective it has to rotate - at just right speed to keep the same side facing us. Otherwise the moon orbiting the earth would make different parts of the moon visible to us.

That is true. But from our vantage point, the same side of the moon is always facing us, so from OUR perspective it is not spinning, regardless of the fact that it actually is.

We will not see a "spin" which enables us to use telescopes on earth to see these sinister moon bases that were built by aliens or Mexicans or somebody.
