Foreign media: The United States and China are currently engaged in an arms race similar to that between the US and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, with existing restrictions on space behavior being weakened and the trend of space militarization becoming increasingly evident.
The United States sent a probe to Mars as early as 1976, and NASA plans to return to the moon around 2030 and achieve a manned mission to Mars in the 2030s; Musk's SpaceX aims to achieve a manned landing on Mars by 2029.
However, current international law is still incomplete, and there are no clear rules to manage human presence, sovereignty claims, resource exploitation, and military activities on the moon and other celestial bodies. Clear regulations are needed for future human existence, resource extraction in the moon and the solar system, and the militarization of space.
