Is it just me?
Why did they need permission from the US to make a trip to the moon?
What extraterritorial claim is the US trying to enforce on our planets natural satellite?
I thought the company who are supply the rockets etc are from New Zealand- and a shedload of the tech is European (predominantly but not exclusively ESA funded tech).
How or why is the US granting authority for the trip- when outer space is supposed to be governed by UN Charter?
