True, but about 40 per cent of the moon's surface is never visible from Earth. I tried to explain this to an otherwise intelligent individual, to no avail. That's why the Soviet photos were so startling - the "dark side" is much different, far more craters and so on. Hm.
More craters on the far side of the moon would make sense. Meteoroids pulled towards earth's gravity would have to fly by the moon's orbit. If the same side of the moon faced away from the earth and towards space it would get more impacts. Cool.
Hmm...maybe just tell them that it spins that way so it can keep its best side toward us.
