The period of its rotation is equal to its orbital period, that is why the same side of the moon faces us. And the coincidence in there escapes you? (At the risk of starting -or whatever- a flame war) It severely limits the time schedules for all the other chance factors that are required for evil oceans to spawn, bear fruit not "of its kind" and go on to conquer the planet in all its levels. The odds of that happening are... on topic. |
