“Lasso the Moon? Is It Possible? What about Hack the Moon? Today’s International Framework for Activities on the Moon”

The global interest in the moon and outer space continues to skyrocket. The current U.S. commercial investment in space is $350 billion annually, and it is expected to grow to$1 Trillion or more by 2040. The U.S. military investment in space defense and research likewise continues to grow, with the total investment amount remaining classified. With the frequent activity in space, as well as concerns about attacks to US space assets to and from space, the U.S, created the United States Space Command and its Space Force. With private space travel, nanosatellites, lunar exploration, and the proliferation of space weapons, the newest frontier of concern is outer space. This article explores who owns outer space, what is the governance model for peaceful exploration in space and defines the parameters of what activities can occur on the moon. National security rests on strong space security and cybersecurity. With the upcoming Hack the Moon competition and symposium being hosted by the Maryland Innovation and Security Institute, this article lays the foundation for the realm of the possible, which was once seen as the realm of the impossible. The Sky and the moon are no longer the limit

Linear and Quadratic Associations of Plasma Oxytocin With Depressive Symptoms in Ethnic Minority Women Living With HIV

The current study examines both linear and curvilinear relationships between oxytocin (OT) and depressive symptoms over time in ethnic minority women living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV; WLWH). Participants were 70 WLWH aged 20–49 (86% African‐American or Caribbean). OT was measured at baseline via enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay immunoassay procedures. Depressive symptoms were measured at both baseline and 10‐week post‐baseline via the Beck Depression Inventory‐II (BDI‐II). Multiple regression analyses revealed marginal linear and significant quadratic OT terms to be predictors of T2 BDI scores. Results indicate that to a point, OT may have salutary effects on depressive symptoms in ethnic minority WLWH. However, extremely high OT levels may be related to greater depressive symptoms
