    ...Secondly, our moon is at least as important as Jupiter at saving our
    asses from being nothing but a gravel pit...

    I don't follow your reasoning here Mike. Why
    would the moon have much affect on the number
    of meteors that hit the earth? Is that what
    you meant? Jupiter mops up most of the interplanetary
    stuff that would otherwise hit the earth. The moon?
    Nah, almost negligible.
