Looking at all the holes and stuff seen in some 2.0 pictures, I don't think the moon raining down on us would have to lead to mass extinction

Oh, and just because it was build by people does not make it less of a mini moon.
My house is not a machine either just because it was built by man.
Size in the sky means nothing, stars are just dots in the sky and they can be over 500x bigger than our sun, perhaps Dalamud was just really far away (and moving really fast)

Also there must be some threat because the Garleans are using it as a weapon (oh hai lets scatter little bits of meteorite around Eorzea for our invasion)

SE has said that Dalamud will change everything, not scatter little bits of metorite around.
