DESCRIPTION:With the first human missions to the Moon in 50 years just aro
 und the corner\, how do we make way for a new era of space exploration in 
 the 21st Century?\n\n\nThe dawning of the second space race is well and tr
 uly underway with many countries competing and collaborating to return to 
 the lunar surface. With over 30 missions set to launch in the next five ye
 ars alone\, the Moon’s population\, of both robots and humans\, is about
  to increase rapidly. Both the US-led Artemis program and the Internationa
 l Lunar Research Station\, cofounded by China and Russia\, plan to use the
  Moon’s natural resources to support operations\; so how do we manage al
 l of these new lunar visitors?\n\n\nFrom deciding between mining sites for
  water and areas to preserve for scientific investigation\, to coordinatin
 g safe landings and keeping humans alive in a hostile environment 380\,000
 km from home - our return to the Moon is a global affair that requires far
  more cooperation than what is laid out in the 1967 Outer Space Treaty.\n\
 n\nFind out about upcoming lunar missions and how we govern space and the 
 Moon in an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape.
