The “Mars-a-Lago” Accords

[⭐ analyst75]

On Election Day, while America voted, Trump signed a proclamation titled "The American Declaration of Freedom in Space."

 

It declares the solar system and all of outer space "the province of all humans." Space, it says, is "open to exploration, development, use, and the establishment of a permanent presence by American citizens."

 

Permanent presence.

 

A 1967 treaty says no nation can claim the Moon. The proclamation honors it. Nobody’s planting a flag and calling the Moon the 51st state.

 

The treaty says nothing about who builds first. As Robertson’s settlers understood: whoever builds first writes the rules.

 

What you build up there is yours. What you mine up there is yours. Congress said so in 2015.

 

The new proclamation adds a schedule. Return to the Moon by 2028. A permanent American base on the lunar surface. The first human footprints on Mars.

 

That raises a lot of questions. One of which:Who’s going to get Americans there?

 

One man owns the fleet.

 

NASA picked SpaceX's Starship to land its astronauts on the Moon. SpaceX flies the overwhelming majority of American launches. Elon has talked about Mars for more than 20 years—and for most of that time, people laughed. And yet.
