Actually, there was a house standing there but it had a spider in it and the forum that the dude hung out on said "nuke it from space" so he did...
eta: Sadly, the spider survived... |

There’s a few smaller impact sites one a little north and another just to the south that I’ve always wanted to check out just for kicks.
There’s a chunk in the visitors center and I enjoyed the reactions when I asked on the tour if they tell people how radioactive it still is before they touch it? (It’s not) |

I have a funny story from going about three years ago. I had been to the crater and was coming back when I rounded a corner and this little boy almost ran into me. I must have scared him because he ran off screaming daddy daddy that big man he looked at me.

When you get there, take a picture. If a meteor that size hit's your house while you are looking at Meteor crater, that picture will be worth a lot of money. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What are the odds of it landing so close to the visitor center? Clearly the proximity of the impact crater and the visitor center show that there was intent behind this. Malicious, maybe even RACIST, intent, I bet. |

2 pilots flew a small plane inside the crater and couldn't get back out of it.
They had to fly around in circles until they ran out of gas and crashed in the bottom. they lived |

But I think Elon should build a huge acrylic sealed dome over it, pump out all of the air, and use the crater for full scale development of Mars housing and fuel structures...

Quote HistoryQuoted: What I find both hilarious and sad is that some bozo bought that crater, looking for the huge blob of iron that just HAD to be in there. He spent decades sifting through the dirt from that crater, but never found that huge blob of iron, just millions of tiny raindrops of iron. Actually it’s not surprising. Our understanding of impact craters on the earth was grossly incorrect until we began preparing for the moon landings. Everyone had always assumed impact craters would have a huge chunk of the impactor buried in the bottom of the crater. A geologist by the name of Eugene Shoemaker was instrumental in helping revise our understanding to show that most impactors vaporize during impact, and leave only tiny fragments. This revelation led to the understanding of what wiped out the dinosaurs via the Chicxulub crater. |
