Very thin atmosphere = much less ablation of incoming debris = more stuff makes it to the surface.

google uranus FTW

They're going to make their own currency soon. They're going to own everything, and provide everything for free, somehow. You'll 'earn' googles by searching, using google sites, being nice, and voting for the google presidential candidate, and then googles will be used to buy anything you want, and as google will own everything, if you have enough googles, you can buy saaay, a small tropical island, a naval frigate, your own moon, anything.
All this will be seemlessly integrated into Google OS, on Google 1Ghz processors, that are somehow so efficient that they save the rainforest, prolong youthfulness and vitality, optionally enlarge your actual penis, and outperform even the much speculated FX-186 and the Intel MolotovFireBomberBlackShadowRageFistDeathPlagueFireNecroüberElitePro 256Ghz Nuclear Powered Desktop DuoHexaCore.

The future's bright, the future's Google.

It doesn't -- or rather it has some more. But the earth hides blemishes well -- plate techtonics 'wipe' clean really old craters, biolotical processes grow over and fill in newer ones. Finally, humans in the past didn't have aerial photography and just called them valleys / depressions / etc...

Once people realized this, we began finding craters all over the place. Earth is COVERED with craters, they just aren't in the common psyche.
