Just what we need - politically correct, EU-UN approved space travel rules. Whew, they saved us Ugly Americans again!
More exploring? I thought it was just going to be a launch site for future missions.
Our flag is planted there. We own it.
A nice way to say the US government now claims jurisdiction over what you do on other planets. Might be nice if they focused on America, and 4 months of riots in cities, and the damned corona political shutdowns.

Tell them all about this Artemis Accords and then drop a single question on these bright minds; “Why name this ‘Artemis’?” Any guesses for the percentage of correct answers? Remember the slogan, “Hey, hey, ho, ho, Western Civ has got to go!”
Moonbase Alpha, come in
They found the monolith!
Notice our enemies, Russia and China are missing.
