Earth’s moon is sacred territory. It is our satellite directly related to the gravitational stability of Earth, ie: tides. That is only one example.
We already know Lunar Landers have caused moonquakes. Enough already.
The manned missions to the moon that began in 1968 were a magnificent achievement for the USA, but, that is where it should end.
If countries want to explore space then do so in space and not Earth’s only satellite. No way stations, no nothing!
I found the idea of cremated remains being placed on Earth’s moon a huge ethical issue and it should never have been considered. Those canisters are now floating remains forever. The egos involved in wanting a cemetery plot on Earth’s moon is appalling.
Molecules and atoms matter and Earth’s moon needs to be returned to pristine condition and the USA should lead the way.
Space exploration is about planets and those that can support human life orbiting around a more youthful sun.
End of discussion!
