I'm an electonic technician, and my hobby is 3d graphics. Could someone explain to me why nearly all craters on mars and the moon have impacts that appear to be at right angles to the surface. This should be to my way of thinking an impossibility since everything in our System is rotating and moving. surelly there has to be a majority of tangentially made craters. Victoria is straight in, or is it a collapse.
