Abstract
The article analyzes the actions of the White House administration in space exploration. The US policy in space is one of the instruments of global domination, the ideological resources of American «exclusivity», but at the same time international space law, the Treaty on the Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies, are violated.
