Artemis Moon Civilization

About & Policy

Independent by design, explicit about scope, careful about posture.

Artemis.org is an educational, editorial, and community-oriented project about lunar civilization, mythology, and the future of permanent life beyond Earth.

What this site is

Artemis.org is an independent publishing and community project. It exists to explore the Moon as a long-duration human environment through original writing, commentary, analysis, educational material, and later, curated community discussion.

What this site is not

Artemis.org is not an official government site, not a contractor site, and not an affiliate, partner, or representative of NASA or any public agency. Nothing on this site should be read as official mission guidance or institutional communication.

Editorial Policy

Original writing

Articles, summaries, and commentary should be written in original language and reflect independent editorial judgment.

Attribution and links

When discussing public information, the site should link to primary sources rather than copying them excessively.

No official visual identity

The site should not use NASA logos, mission patches, official insignia, or branding that implies endorsement.

Speculation stays labeled

Future-looking ideas, governance concepts, and settlement theories should be framed clearly as commentary, analysis, or speculation.

Community standards

When a forum launches, user content should remain respectful, lawful, clearly user-generated, and moderated against infringement or unlawful material.

Disclaimer

Artemis.org is independently operated and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with NASA or any government agency. References to public programs, missions, or agencies are editorial in nature.

Current Moon surface rendering uses a public-domain Moon texture created by NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio and mirrored on Wikimedia Commons. The site does not use NASA logos, insignia, or endorsement language.

Practical guardrails

  • Use original copy and custom design
  • Avoid official logos, insignia, and endorsement language
  • Treat public facts as source material for new writing, not copy
  • Keep community content clearly user-generated when it launches
