True so far.

If you telescope the moon you'll see too many craters caused by
asteroids falling in the moon.

I'll see "many" but not "too many" for any purpose I can think of. The
vast majority of the craters we see are billions of years old.
Occasional strikes still happen, of course, but the odds of any
particular spot getting hit in the next few hundred years are very very
low.

Unlike the International Space Station it can evade the
asteroid. Space station in the moon they'll need to install missiles
to protect it from dropping asteroids.

This is pure nonsense. Do you never go outside in the rain without a
lightning rod over your head to protect you from lightning strikes?
