” In the first half of the XXI century rivalry unfold cosmic powers for the possession of the most attractive lunar bridgehead to build future research stations. Lunar bridgeheads are sized for the maximum duration of the illumination and the presence in their immediate vicinity deposits of water ice “, – quotes the edition of the text of the document.
It reminds edition principles for the use of the moon in most states are governed by the contract of the 1967 Outer Space. According to the second article of the document space, including the moon, is not subject to national appropriation.
