A tidally locked body takes just as long to rotate around its own axis as it does to revolve around its partner. Therefore, the Moon rotates one revolution for every orbit around the Earth. That means it is tidally locked. Even though an observer from Earth sees only one side continually, which to us seems like it does not rotate, the moon actually rotates approximately once every 28 days. In essence, the Moon rotates, but to us on Earth we always see the same side.
Does the Moon spin on its axis? No it doesn't ! If it was spinning/ rotating (on its own axis, by definition), and we could somehow stop its orbit around the earth (or even suddenly straighten it into a line), it should then continue spinning. It obviously won't. It will just sit there angularly motionless as it always has.

Mercury
Until radar observations in 1965 proved otherwise, it was thought that Mercury was tidally locked with the Sun. Instead, it turned out that Mercury has a 3:2 spin–orbit resonance, rotating three times for every two revolutions around the Sun; the eccentricity of Mercury's orbit makes this resonance stable.
So, apparently, your "Alex Collier said that 'Morenae', " is incorrect in his "facts".

Now, you don't hear much about the Russian space program, but let me tell you something. They are also a major player on the moon. They don't work for us, but for the international bankers, who are the new "priesthood".

3) The scenes don't show you the whole scene.
4) No help? Are you sure? (skip to 2:10 if you wish, but you shouldn't)

Lets make this really simple.
Why do astronauts leave mirrors on the moon? They shoot lasers from the earth at those mirrors to measure the exact distance between the earth and the moon.
How much does the moon move away from the earth each year? It moves 3 inches away from earth each year
What year did an American astronaut land on the moon? Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to land on any heavenly body outside earth when they landed on the moon on July 20th, 1969. There was also one other moon landing in 1969, and four more over the years 1970, 1971, and 1972.

Why Doesn't the Moon Rotate? In comparison, the tidal effect on the Moon is static because the Moon no longer rotates in relation to the Earth.

But i tell you what, you are just following the mainstream who automatically THINK all theories and interpretations are true. Let me remind you what ATS member 'Gibborium' nailed on Mercury on Page 35 'reply posted on 8-7-2012 @ 01:24 PM by Gibborium'... 'Gibborium' sooooo FALSELY claimed that Mercury is tidally locked to the Sun, when it shows that that interpretation is NOT true when observations proved that Mercury is NOT tidally locked to the Sun at all... 'jra', why don't YOU ask 'Gibborium' why 'Gibborium' refused NOT to mention that huh? I think 'Gibborium' is very ashamed about that since 'Gibborium' doesn't post here anymore...
I recommend you to read this www.digipro.com... "Why Doesn't the Moon Rotate?"
And as Alex Collier said >>We always see only 59% of it. Our moon is the only one that does that.

I posted the reference to the article, as I always do, but perhaps you didn't see it.

My post still refutes the statement that our Moon is the only satellite that is tidally locked.
A tidally locked body takes just as long to rotate around its own axis as it does to revolve around its partner. This synchronous rotation causes one hemisphere constantly to face the partner body.
...gravity has proven strong enough to lock the satellites' rotations to match their orbital periods.
...the tidal effect on the Moon is static because the Moon no longer rotates in relation to the Earth.

The moon DOES rotate. How on Earth (haha) do you think the moon can revolve around the earth, *keeping one side facing us as it moves around us* WITHOUT rotating?
First, you claim that the Moon DOES rotate, then in your next sentence you claim that the Moon does NOT rotate with your "WITHOUT rotating" claim... So what's gonna be huh? Do you THINK the Moon ROTATE, or do you THINK that the Moon does NOT rotate?

You can Google about it, and Bingo! You will see that informations shows that Astronauts used these nicknames for the UFO sightings in space...
I have googled it. One of your sources claims that Wally Schirra reported "bogies" on Mercury 8. I have just read the entire transcript of that mission's transmissions. He did not report bogies or Santa Claus. He did confirm that "Sir John" Glenns fireflies were ice crystals that he could knock off the capsule.'Your sources are simply wrong... unless you can prove otherwise.

I only needed to show one satellite besides Earth's Moon that is tidally locked to disprove Alex Collier/Moranae.
How did the scientists find out that these other Moons also are tidally locked to their planet? Or are these "tidally locked" interpretations about these other Moons REALLY just based on theories?
