>The World Monuments Fund listed an at-risk site beyond the Earth’s surface for the first time in this year’s [World Monuments Watch](https://www.wmf.org/world-monuments-watch/2025), a nomination-based list released biennially to raise awareness of heritage sites in need of preservation.
>The organization said “a burgeoning commercial space industry” may pose “novel risks” to preserving the integrity of dozens of historic landing and impact sites on the Moon’s surface.
honestly, i expect china to land, build a fort and claim the moon for china and screw the sharing of space.
Meanwhile, efforts to preserve the moon landing sites by keeping people away will be met with derision and skepticism.
A small handful of geniuses will see this as what it truly is: the continued mass coverup of how we faked the moon landings.

Tourist just watched starship blow up and multiple angles were filmed of the wreckage falling in the sky spectacular and terrifying all at once… noones going to the moon shut up
My first thought when I read the title was, “are they beefing up the fire department coverage for the LA sound stage”
No reason to preserve everything, everywhere, it’s getting out of hands now.
I see no relevance in protecting landing ruts . Do we need to study how the dust moved from being disturbed. It’s a ball of rock there is no need to protect its ruts
What they’re really afraid of is that we’re going to find Kubrick’s sarcophagus there along with all the cameras he used to fake the moon landing on location.
