Will the new moon race turn Earth's nearest neighbor into a dumping ground?

Experts are calling for immediate regulations regarding waste disposal on the Moon following concerns about increasing debris accumulation. Space companies currently lack defined protocols for managing discarded rocket parts and other materials launched towards our celestial neighbor. The potential consequence is the transformation of the Moon’s near side into an uncontrolled repository for obsolete spacecraft components. This situation raises significant scientific and logistical challenges for future lunar missions and research endeavors. Establishing clear guidelines now is crucial to safeguard the Moon’s pristine environment and ensure its continued usability.
