>Isn't it also odd that the moon is the ONLY known planetary satellite that does not rotate…ONLY being the operative…

 

The moon orbits the Earth once every 27.322 days. It also takes approximately 27 days for the moon to rotate once on its axis. As a result, the moon does not seem to be spinning but appears to observers from Earth to be keeping almost perfectly still. Scientists call this synchronous rotation.
