‘Expanding the understanding of heritage to include both cultural and natural sites of interest signals that the Moon’s landscape isn’t only worth preserving because some humans have been there.’ Great to see these important questions raised by OU colleagues: theconversation.com/the-moon-has...
theconversation.com
The Moon has been listed as a threatened historic site – but the value of ‘lunar heritage’ needs defining
The World Monuments Fund submission highlights that there are almost 100 sites on the Moon bearing traces of the human history of space exploration.
