And now at least two companies are making it a business venture. If we let this go, in ten years every nation will be dumping its garbage there. In twenty years, nuclear waste. In fifty years, the moon is going to look like a burning New Jersey landfill. Capitalism is going to destroy the Earth, we don't have to let it destroy the moon as well. >There is no treaty stipulating that people’s ashes wont be sent to the moon. Fair, apparently it's a "memo signed by the Biden administration that pledged to consult the tribe on matters that impact them. " Still gives the Navajo leeway to complain. As they should. More people should. >Celestis has a page on the legal and ethical considerations for this sort of thing. Yes, they're aware that ethical considerations exist, and yet they're doing the thing anyway, because they're a business and couldn't care less. Like every business they expect (or intend to purchase) laws and regulations that favor them.
