Humanity's relationship with the Moon is about to undergo another major transformation, perhaps more symbolically decisive than the one it experienced on July 21, 1969. NASA is considering mobilizing technologies that could enable humans to establish themselves on the lunar surface. Going beyond the Apollo missions, this undertaking no longer seeks merely to explore, but to exploit, to satisfy commercial ambitions. Thus the perception of this space, shrouded in an aura that has fascinated since time immemorial, is also being disrupted. We have moved from an almost divine consideration of the Moon to its reduction to a simple resource serving human interests. The poetic radiance of the Moon, which inspired verses and texts from poets, thus seems to be heading toward decline. A trajectory that distances it from the halo that led Victor Hugo to describe it as "This golden sickle in the field of stars." Inspired by this same source, Baudelaire wrote: "Tonight, the moon dreams with greater laziness; / Like a beauty, on many cushions, / Who, with a distracted and light hand, caresses / Before falling asleep the contour of her breasts." The Moon risks thus suffering, like the world, what Max Weber calls disenchantment. The Moon, in this loss of its particular power of fascination, is reduced to a terrain for the application of technique. It thus also undergoes what philosopher Martin Heidegger names "enframing." Like the Rhine River and other elements of nature that have been summoned by technique to yield their resources, will our satellite also, for some perspectives, be merely a simple reserve? The various NASA projects that, in the long term, will extend toward Mars, have the power to transform space from a poetic hearth into a simple exploitable fund. Space exploration, however, also has another potential: that of provoking what is called the overview effect. Astronauts have often spoken of this particular experience, felt when, from space, the spectacle of Earth, which transcends borders, manifests its fragility when seen suspended in darkness. This renewal of perception could thus, once again, re-enchant the Earth. From the Moon (or from Mars?), we could then better understand the necessity of inhabiting our planet with restraint.
