Available for 275 days

When the Odysseus lander touched down on the lunar surface last month, it became the first US presence on the Moon in more than fifty years. But unlike the Cold War space race between two global superpowers, we now see a growing roster of nations - and private companies - vying to announce their presence on the Moon. So with competition for rare resources looking set to intensify…who owns the Moon, and could conflict there mean war on Earth?
