Most will say it has (mass*velocity^2)/2 but this is wrong. Despite the overwhelming response that i may receive here saying I am wrong, the truth is that the moon as ZERO rotational energy.

The moon has either never spun around itself, meaning the moon was thrown off (originating) from earth, or the moon did rotate long ago and has since been completely despun by the popular tidal braking theory. Those saying that the moon rotates at a period equal to its orbital period are mistaken, That is merely an illusion of rotation created by the curvature of space time by gravity in a orbital revolution.
