Imagine this: it’s the year 2100, and you’re out having a few moon brews with your buds.
You get in your moon buggy to head home, but halfway there you’re stopped by a space cop who breathalyses you.
Shit! You’re over the limit, but it’s ok - there are no laws on the moon, right?
WRONG!
Moon law is now in force… at least if you’re Canadian.
Just last week Canadian lawmakers passed an amendment to their Criminal Code to allow for the prosecution of crimes committed ON THE MOON.
Now, crimes committed by Canadian astronauts either en route to the moon, on space stations, or on the moon’s surface, will be treated the same as crimes committed on Earth.
The update comes as the number of space flights are increasing, and now that Canada’s announced it will create the Lunar Gateway space station.
The station is set to launch in 2024, and will conduct scientific experiments and prep for missions to Mars. And while crime isn't common in space, they will be ready if it does happen once in a blue moon.
