US lawmakers propose national park on Moon
Washington: US lawmakers are pushing a plan to establish a new national park that would be quite literally be out of this world- on the Moon. Two legislators introduced a bill last week that would establish a national park on the Moon.
Called the Apollo Lunar Landing Legacy Act, the bill calls for the creation of an historic national park on the lunar surface to preserve artifacts from past Apollo missions.
The proposed lunar national park, then, would consist solely of artifacts left behind from Apollo missions, such as footprints and landing gear. This would not include the moon itself, because according to the international Outer Space Treaty of 1967, no one can own the moon.
