I can: "Not much". There have been 65-70 high speed impacts from manmade objects into the moon. ~25 scientific mission crashes (we *wanted* to hit it), 11 spent Apollo stages, 15-18 accidental crashes, and 10+ derelict boosters. This one hardly affects the tally.

Imports don't impact GDP that way. Increased imports do increase the Trade Deficit, which these same chuckle-heads (incorrectly) say is the fault of foreigners abusing Americans. So in lying about the situation he brags that they are doing America harm (in their mistaken view)
