Is it true that Uranus always gets hit by asteroids from behind?

Seriously, why is it that we never see any big asteroid collision with the moon?

Speaking of missing asteroids, there was a curious, short segment on the news this evening. Apparently, an asteroid described as being as large as a ten story building passed within 45,000 of Earth last month, without detection before the fact. Impact from such an object, had it occurred, was described as being equivalent to 1,000 Hiroshimas.

The only way to handle the missing asteroid problem is to immediately adopt socialism on all planets. If this doesn’t work, more extreme measures may be required.

so they disappeared at the time of the “great bombardment”? Something must have perturbed their orbits.
