What you did was fine.

I'd say anything closer than mars would be detected as the core imp protects the planet with fervor. 

It [i]is[/i] the center of mankind.

200 years after the massive wars is a long time and there is no space activity except what the core allows. Or the small ones that slip through.

All that said, nice post, looking forward to seeing what ever you're cooking up, play out.
