Greetings Locke !
You've almost cracked it with your comment !
By a strange coincidence, the moon takes virtually the same time to revolve once on its own axis as it does to complete an orbit of the Earth . Thus for example when it has revolved 180 degrees on its axis, it has also completed half an orbit of the Earth. Result - we still see the same side and of course this goes for all points between.
