225m for a hit where there's no atmosphere to slow it down. I wonder if something that would cause a that size of crater on the moon would even make it to the Earth's surface, or if it would burn up before it hit.

When I was a kid I thought that any asteroid hitting Earth was bad. Now I gotta ask "where is it going to impact" first.
Also how big is it...
How fast is it going
How far away will it end up passing by us?
Asteroid impacts are a bit disturbingly common. It was only 8 years ago that one about twice as powerful as the nukes used on Japan hit earth. Smaller but still over a kiloton have hit in the last two years.
A meteorite flashed into my backyard in Ohio. It was pretty cool!
The real cover up is that they are saying meteors are hitting the moon and making craters when in fact, because the world's natural cheese supply is dwindling, they are scooping giant chunks of moon cheese out and bringing it back to earth.
Sneaky plan by "Big Moon Globes and Images". All of the old globes, posters, and shirts have to be replaced, as we cannot learn with in-accurate images of the Moon. Three Wolves cannot howl at old images of the Moon!
Big moon trying to get more crater impacts so they can sell you on more big craters.
Seems like a great place for solar panels
The issue with solar for stuff on the moon is that it's night is very long compared to earth, so anything you power with it needs to be able to shut down (and also get very cold without powered heaters) without harm over that time, or have a comparatively large amount of energy storage. Unless you're at one of a handful of spots at the poles where the sun almost never fully sets.
That's fine, just give the moon a solar panel belt around it's equator.
