Twin Probes Crash Into the Moon

Was just going to comment on this.

The moon has days and nights, just like the Earth. Also, the rotation of the moon just about exactly matches the revolution around the Earth, so we constantly see the same "side" of the moon's surface.

I think the inaccurate term "dark side of the moon" to refer to the side we don't see originally came from the idea of radio darkness (no contact possible directly from Earth), but it's a persistent phrase even after people know the difference.
