"Legal Battle Erupts Over Human Ashes and Sports Drink Containers Found on Moon"

As NASA aims to make the moon more accessible, a surge in unconventional plans to exploit it has sparked a legal debate over its proper use, with concerns about potential gaps in US oversight and the absence of regulations for lunar activities. Private initiatives include sending human ashes and sports drink containers to the moon, raising questions about contamination and litter. The lack of guidelines has led to discussions about potential conflicts with international law and the widely ratified 1967 Outer Space Treaty, prompting calls for urgent international discussions on moon behavior.
