Idk, that seems way more expensive and logistically insane compared to doing it here.

Didn’t Russia and China not even sign the original treaty?

[saibanala]

I remember something about this clause in a treaty that from 2030 or 2040 countries can claim territories over moon or other planets… please confirm.

[HKS-Digital]

That treaty has not been ratified so its essentially holds no weight

[nickelblaclllkjhyukj]

Bruh you think they give a fuck about any treathy?😂

[gordonfrimann]

Because no one ever broke a treaty or started a conflict over resources lol

[rambodghazizadeh]

I think every war that started has broken a treaty, there should be more broken treaty than the ones that kept true till the end.

[babydumpling]

If we have to go to the moon to get minerals were f'ed

[CoachJasonWOWSwimCoaching]

That is so dumb. How do allegedly smart people think up this stuff

[grumpymonk]

It’s not like anything (to our knowledge) is using it out there may as well try and bring it down
