Part 4: “After Apollo” In this episode the focus shifts from competition to preservation. Space law expert Michelle Hanlon explores the legal realities of the Apollo landing sites and how norms, first-mover behavior, and the Artemis Accords will shape the Moon’s future. That legal reality is paired with Jim Remar of the Cosmosphere, who shows how close we have already come to losing the physical evidence of the Apollo era and why preservation still matters.
