The cratering of the Moon was done in it’s early days.

So you know when the last time the moon took a hit that otherwise would have struck the Earth.

Since recorded history is all of 7000 years I think you are making a reach far beyond your grasp.

The last time something impacted the Moon was some time in the tenth century and was witnessed by some monks in Italy I believe. The Moon was formed after the Earth was impacted by a Mars size ‘’rouge’’ planet that gouged out massive amounts of material and this material coalesced to form the moon. The impact was not powerful enough for the ejecta to break free of Earths gravity. In it's beginning stage it went through a ‘’bombardment’’ period as did Earth for millions of years until it stopped. Jupiter is our protector but it can't catch everything that might come our way. 7,OOO years of recorded history huh? The Neanderthals left a history of who they were and how they saw their world and in their cave paintings and that was some 35-4O,OOO years ago. “Reaching beyond my grasp’’? Hardly. I'm not Carl Sagan but astronomy is a hobby of mine. Don't be some rude friend. Why not look up the science yourself?
