Congratulations, you figured out why I mentioned 1 mile crater rather then 800 ft crater.
While it is true that certain types of meteorites burn up or disintegrate, many are chondrites, stony or iron. Lots of small iron meteorites have been found, along with slightly bigger stony and chondrites. The biggest difference between the Earth and Moon is that the smaller meteorites hit at terminal velocity and don't create much more then a pit.
The Earth, while obviously not getting many micro-meteor hits, does get hit by a fair amount of meteorites.

Consider the number of craters over a mile across on the Moon.

When did the US army start using Imperial units? Imperial gallon = 160 fl ozs = 4.54 litres, one of many English gallons= 128 fl ozs = 3.78 litres. IIRC you used a weird sized inch as well which after switching to the Canadian inch of 25.4 mm back in the '50's, lives on as the surveyors inch.
Besides everyone knows it was the Russian army that kicked the Germans arse.

Not if you honestly don't need to pay taxes. Quit working and you don't have to pay. Don't even have to quit working, just reduce your income below the minimum for paying taxes.
If everyone sat down, refused to work and pay taxes, there would be change.

Are you really saying that the UK implemented income tax to help some Federal government, perhaps Australia as they have States.
Income tax was implemented in most western countries to pay for war at a time when war couldn't just me magically paid for, how it has evolved since varies from country to country but it is used mostly to raise funds. Most federal systems have federal income tax as well as state, province etc income tax.

Hillary is quite a ways to the right herself. Only in America are a party such as the Democrats considered left wing socialists.
You can tell how socialist they are by how they nationalized the banks after the fiscal meltdown in 2008 rather then rewarding them and how they introduced Romneycare to reward the insurance companies instead of a single payer system.

The Democrats are still quite a ways to the right of the political spectrum, you just have to look at Obama's master piece, basically Romneycare renamed and designed to take money from the people and give it to the rich in the form of insurance companies.
Anyways the real problem is not left vs right but authoritarian vs non-authoritarian and generally in democracies the right is also highly authoritarian, at least those who are successful.

Perhaps you should join ISIS, a government as far right as you can get. There's also Saudi Arabia, a shining right wing paradise. Me, I'd rather live in the evil left wing Scandinavian countries.

Everything I've ever heard is that landing on the Moon is much easier then Mars. We've actually landed a small spacecraft that held 2 people along with their life support, their spacecraft + fuel to leave the Moon and even threw in a rover for them to go for a Sunday drive.
With Mars, there is enough gravity to make landing by rocket impractical and too little atmosphere to be useful for aerobraking. So far we've landed little packages by using airbags and the largest package, a SUV sized rover was a bitch that involved parachutes, rockets and even a sky crane.
So we've landed a 16,400 kg package on the Moon a couple of times (first ones were only 15,200 kg) while we've landed a 1000 kg package on Mars.
As for the Moon not having volcanoes, it probably did, just that it cooled down fairly quick as all volcanoes are long extinct. Lava tubes have been spotted on the Moon IIRC.
The big advantage of the atmosphere of Mars, besides giving some protection, is that it allows erosion so the dust is nicely rounded unlike moon dust that is jagged. The dust may still be a problem due to its fineness (very dry)

Most nuclear reactors produce electricity through basic heat engines so you need a heat sink. Probably need a whole new design. This would be true for the Moon and Mars

There's been about 8 successful landings on Venus. True that they all failed in a short length of time due to heat and pressure.
I always liked the story of the first attempted landing, Due to not realizing just how thick the atmosphere was the probes batteries died before it landed.

Venus doesn't have a magnetic field like the Earth does, whether due to lack of a molten core, lack of convection or the more likelihood that it is not spinning is currently unknown. This is one of the main reasons that Venus lost its hydrogen.
