I'll just come right out and say it. I don't believe your numbers. We haven't had a major impactor in recorded history, and that right there using conditional probability says your numbers are wrong. As far as the pandemic, you must read the latest armageddon news, by alarmist incorporated. What a truly absurd conclusion. Europe lost something like 1/3 of their population during the black death and the result was they had the renaisance right afterwards. The belief is that because of the now increased resources per person that was left, luxury crops and items were now able to be produced and traded because the food crop was not being pushed to the limit to keep up with the population anymore. And yet you would believe that somehow all technology would disappear because some lesser percentage of people died?
I do agree we need to develop the technology to do a proper search for LARGE impactors, however that could be entirely earth based, and has no need of extraordinary moon bases or for rockets.
