The Moon spins at the same rate that it orbits the Earth, keeping one face turned toward the Earth. The terms "near side" and "far side" are correct to describe the two sides of the Moon. Until the Soviet Luna 3 satellite orbited the Moon in 1959, we had no clue what the far side of the Moon looked like.
