Hi Steve, >is either returns to the moon or sucked in by earths gravity in a relatively short time.
Relatively to what? Just googling around I found transit times of the lunaites from Moon to Earth between a couple of tens of thousands of years up to 8 million years. The travelling times of many Martian meteorites fall also well into that time frame. Best!

If mars had no atmosphere it would look battered like the moon. And most of the material knocked off the moon is either returns to the moon or sucked in by earths gravity in a relatively short time. Some day there may be a witnessed lunar fall.
