You are entering from "another country" if you are coming from the Moon.
For this purpose "country" has to be interpret as stepping on any land outside of the US.

- mytailorisrich 1y agoI wrote in general and generic terms. Apollo 11 demonstrated that one can "set foot" on the Moon. So don't call it 'land' if that creates issues with existing laws and treaties on property rights but the point remains.
