netbuzz writes "Just because your software model can accurately predict the number of meteors that will hit the Earth doesn't mean it will fly on the surface of the moon. NASA scientists say little rocks are hitting that big rock at four times the rate they had anticipated when they started watching a year ago."

Meteoric Rise?

The expression "meteoric rise" bugs me. Meteors FALL. It makes about as much sense as "an explosive decline".
