The Artemis II mission, a mission that marked humanity's return to the moon, has been met with mixed optimism and skepticism. The mission was seen as a sign humanity is beginning to cooperate and explore the future of exploration. However, this optimism may shift to ruthless Earthly resource wars, which could lead to permanent or semi-permanent mining operations. Observers believe that the mission is paving the way for more human nonsense, with the US and China planning to put astronauts on the moon by 2030. The Outer Space Treaty, a document dating back to 1967, ensures that space and all celestial bodies are only used for peaceful purposes and ensures that nobody owns the moon. However this optimism is not completely utopian, with an undeniable hint of old-school colonialism.
