If the same side of the moon is always facing us, wouldn't a meteor have to be coming from the direction of the earth in order to leave a crater for us to see?

    I wouldn't be surprised if NASA or the ESA eventually launches repositionable earth orbit sats which could be flown out to further distances - perhaps even behind the moon, relaying imagery via a relay system of other satellites - so footage from behind the moon could be obtained.

    If not this decade, in the next... I can't be the first person to have thought of something like this, and I'd put money on it that the respective governments are already saving up for this kind of project. ;)
