The Artemis Moon base project is legally dubious | The Verge

This page discusses NASA's Artemis Moon base project and raises questions about its legal status under international law. The Artemis II mission will send four astronauts around the Moon before returning to Earth, testing systems for the 2028 Artemis IV lunar landing. Unlike the Apollo missions, Artemis aims to establish long-term human habitation on the Moon rather than brief visits. Astronauts would need to utilize lunar resources through in-situ resource utilization instead of bringing all supplies from Earth. However, NASA's plans regarding the use of lunar resources appear to raise concerns about potential violations of international law.
