The moon is riddled with them though, absolutely riddled, I just find it strange that Earth only get's the occasional one every 50'000 years or so. I think we're lazer beaming them.

Funny thing about it is until a mining engineer called Daniel Barringer came along and looked at it in the early 20th century it was presumed to be volcanic in origin. People back then didn't think of impacts as something that still happened. Or even at all much, anywhere, even on the moon. Quote from the wiki page. Barringer's arguments were met with skepticism. At the time, the craters visible on the Moon were thought to be volcanic, and no impact craters were known. I think that mentality carried on to to some degree till we actually witnessed comet shoemaker-levy strike Jupiter. That got their attention, this shit is real and it happens. That's when they started planet watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhh 25 minutes ago, Ulysses said: I don't think so. 19 minutes ago, Greedy Jambo said: How old is the moon? it must be wayyyyyyyyyyyyy older than Earth. The moon was formed from a huge collision with the Earth. We know this because we brought moon rocks back from the moon and examined them. 7 minutes ago, Greedy Jambo said: Money can't buy you craters. No, but it can buy you science books—lots of them.
