Is that legal?

  NASA is required to adhere to (self-defined) planetary protection guidelines, but as yet there's no US law against it as it has not previously been considered possible for anyone but the government to be in a position to do so.

  Is anything illegal in space? Which court does space law answer to?

    Under the Outer Space Treaty, most of the legal burden is put on whatever nation something belongs to (kinda like the flag for a ship)
