Hi Paul -

Two of the impact events are now pretty well known:

Of course, work is just beginning on the sequence of impacts for South America and their
related meltwater pulses.

It is really strange to watch the psychological process of denial going on here.
I wish I had just a small part of the money spent on this denial for more research into what actually occurred.

Or better yet, have your personal salary dependent on actual impact research.
That would certainly focus your own fine skills.

BTW, you can not use impact data from the Moon in a straight line to estimate the
impact hazard for the Earth.

The Earth usually protects the Moon from impactors.

E.P.
