Certainly not the answer you want

but it is an answer anyway.

I sympathize with your statement that you live on Earth and not on Mars, as I have always held that it is more important to put people on Earth ahead of people on Mars.
But not only do you live on the Earth, you also live in the same solar system which contains Mars, and determining the crater rate there will help to firm up the estimates of exactly how often asteroids and comets hit here.

I made a mistake the other day in my reply: the historical survey is not being completed for the last 3,000 years, but instead to 3000 BCE, or some 5,000 years. You can find some infromation on this in the Cambridge Conference archives, should you wish to (which I doubt).
