One has to wonder what effect this might
have on a future Mars colony...
http://news.discovery.com/space/mars-impact-craters-meteorite-cluster.html
We have no basis whatsoever for calculating
or even estimating a fall rate for Mars. Even
the effective geological ages of the surfaces
are not known with any certainty. There is
nothing that suggests a greater or even as
great a fall rate as the Earth.
So, how many List members (the best warned)
are planning on vacating the Earth Planet
because of the effect of meteorites? (Other
than hazard to the wallet, that is.) Earth is
obviously unsuitable for a human colony
of any size...
