Hi i think it's strange that we can't land on the moon or mars in SOL, Why is that?

Newcomer / Intro Why can't we land on the Moon in SOL?

Apparently FD have plans for the Moon. In the lore the moon is heavily populated.
And Mars is terraformed and heavily populated.
1) several areas were declared as protected ancient monuments - the areas around the US moon landings in the 20th century.
2) although there is a sizeable population, the whole moon was permit locked to prevent any smuggling or intelligence operations. It's believed that there are considerable planetary defences, primarily to protect earth.
3) there are, of course, a number of flights into and out of permit locked locations, these are managed and planned by the local controlling factions.
4) there's a rumour that the Children of Raxlaa are hidden inside some permit locked planets/systems
(Well there is now!)

Well, that explains why people are having trouble locating them...
And then there's Titan (or is it Triton?) in Sol which is locked out. Wonder if we'll ever see what that's all about...
The Moon Treaty of 2687 gave the moon to their indigenous life in perpetuity - and added the permit.
Protect the Soup Dragon!
Because the Artemis program has yet to be approved in US Congress in 3307
It's pretty clear the Soup Dragon has been added as an engineer in Odyssey - who else would want all those plant specimens we're being asked to collect?
Yup. you'd get loads of CMDRs moaning that it didn't look like the real photos online.

Not a single mention of Sting? I shouldn't be disappointed but I am.
And every single new probe that lands on the moon would elicit a 'where is that probe?' thread. Oh jeez, I bet we never get to land there or Mars ... though I guess at least with Mars they can say it was lost during the terraforming
An alternate answer is that after the moon returned to orbit in the 21st century it turned out the Alphans had been keeping records and samples during their trip.
So every time someone they don’t like the look of attempts to land they release a very dense temporary atmosphere which messes up the planetary approach suite and aborts the landing.

The Moon is a top secret site with forbidden access and under military authority.
Because they’re studying a Monolith that suddenly appeared.

Can't land on any major lore-related planets. Maybe some day.
