Moon Gateway: Debating the case for an orbital lunar outpost

The Lunar Gateway—NASA's planned Moon-orbiting space station developed with international partners—is meant to help test deep-space technology and serve as a staging post for Artemis missions. Its high cost and funding uncertainties spark a debate: supporters say the outpost enables sustainable, international Moon exploration, while critics question its necessity. Even if Gateway is canceled, much of its hardware could be repurposed, but abandoning it could weaken U.S. leadership and international trust in future deep-space cooperation.

The New Space Race: Lunar Resources and Global Power Shifts

The article argues that comparing the moon to the South China Sea is flawed because the moon is governed by international law that prohibits sovereignty claims, and the current lunar efforts are more collaborative than competitive. It emphasizes that the real challenge is managing shared access and resources, and advocates for a race towards restraint and shared stewardship rather than dominance, highlighting the importance of viewing Earth as one from the lunar surface.
