  1. Not just at launch. The things are pretty much built in the open air, right on a wind-swept coastal marsh. That said the rules are dumb and pointless in the long run if you expect dirty nasty humans to be there some day.

  2. The Outer Space Treaty puts the responsibility on nation-states to regulate. You can do anything you want as long as you can get a government to sign off on it and take on the liability for damages or violation of the the OST.

  11. At the point where there is a geopolitical or economic motive to do so, it will go out the window. Its only there because governments don't care and/or it impedes other players. Just like the Antarctic Treaty will be ignored if some unobtanium were discovered there.

  13.  @KronosGodwisen  Sure it looks extremely cold. Sure it looks near vacuum. The "water" we are finding is either scant molecules or solid mineral deposits. I am very sure there is no life on Mars. Probably never was.
