Oh, lookie there! It’s Freedumb!
Your suggestion is null and void.
We’re whalers on the Moon,
We carry a harpoon,
But there ain’t no whales,
So we tell tall tales,
And sing a merry tune!
I think I’ll come back in my next life to trash this place.
Wow, write a program to count rings, how very Tandy of you.
And call it Artificial Intelligence. IQ of 2?
And regardless of the size they all appear to be the same depth.
I didn’t mind when the AI started identifying new craters, but I became a little concerned when it started calculating how many dead bodies it could fit in each one.
It's already been done. Geneticists have analyzed mitochondrial DNA to count the total number of homo sapiens generations. They go back precisely 200,000 years, and no more.
In addition, we're the only primates who possess 46 chromosomes. All other primates have 48.
Something to keep you awake at night.
Could be ejecta from a single large impact event.
Rear Admiral Alan Bartlett Shepard Jr., of course.
I’d trust a real count vs an estimate, speaking of which:

Coolest thing about the moon for me is that during a seismic test, crashing an object into the moon caused it to ring for hours.
Can you think of anything else as cool?
The Apollo 11 and 12 missions (and actually, all of them, I believe, incluidng 17) recorded the third stage impacts seismologically from Apollo 13 on. As the program continued, the Saturn V’s spec improved and the mass budget went up. /pedanticrantoff

Nice!
Wow, I was just speculating. The 200,000 years to arrive at Eve is based upon assumptions on mtDNA mutation rates, which could be 10-20 times higher, per this article:

REAL bad hook....by God, that duffer.......
