01Accuracy first
Space and lunar facts are verifiable, so we treat them that way. Every date, payload mass, mission name, distance and cost we publish is checked against primary sources before it goes live. We do not invent figures, and we do not round a hard number into a rounder one for effect.
When something is uncertain — a crewed-landing date, how much polar ice is truly accessible, when a permanent base becomes realistic — we say so plainly and give a range or a labelled forecast, rather than presenting a guess as a fact.
02Sources & fact-checking
We prefer primary sources over secondary reporting: agency press kits and mission pages (NASA, ESA, JAXA, CNSA, ISRO), the NASA Moon Fact Sheet, peer-reviewed papers, official launch and landing webcasts and company technical briefings. Where we rely on a specific document, our long-form guides link it in a Sources section.
Breaking news is held to the same bar: we wait for confirmation from the operator or agency before stating an outcome — a landing succeeded, a burn completed — and we distinguish clearly between what has happened, what is planned and what is speculation.
03How our content is produced
We use modern tooling, including AI assistance, to help monitor the news field, research, draft and translate. That tooling is a starting point, not the finished product: every article is grounded in the primary sources above and reviewed against them before it is published. We do not publish unreviewed machine output.
Translations are produced per language and fact-checked for their own audience, not bulk machine-translated. A locale is only published once its content clears this quality bar — which is why an article may be available in some languages before others.
04Corrections & updates
We correct mistakes promptly and openly. If you spot an error — a wrong figure, a mislabelled image, an out-of-date claim — email [email protected] and we will review it. Substantive corrections are noted on the article.
Evergreen guides carry an “Updated” date and are refreshed as the facts change — for example after a robotic landing or an Artemis milestone — so a guide you read a year ago should still be current when you return.
05Advertising & funding
The site is funded by advertising (Google AdSense). We do not currently run affiliate or paid-partner links. If we ever add them, they will be clearly labelled and disclosed here — and, like advertising, kept entirely separate from editorial decisions.
Advertising never influences coverage
Advertising never buys favourable coverage or a recommendation. Our news and explainers are reported the same way regardless of who advertises, and ads are kept visibly separate from editorial content.
06Independence & funding
Get to the Moon is editorially independent and is not affiliated with NASA, SpaceX or any space agency or contractor. Coverage decisions are made on newsworthiness alone. We are funded by advertising and affiliate commissions, kept strictly separate from the newsroom; our reporting is never for sale.

08Frequently asked questions
Do you use AI to write articles?
We use AI assistance to help monitor news, research, draft and translate, but it is a starting point only. Every article is grounded in primary sources and reviewed against them before publishing — we do not publish unreviewed machine output.
How do I report an error?
Email [email protected] with the article and the problem. We review every report and note substantive corrections on the article itself.
Do you earn money from links and ads?
The site is funded by advertising (Google AdSense). We do not currently use affiliate or paid-partner links; if that changes, such links will be labelled and disclosed. Advertising is kept separate from editorial decisions and never influences what we cover or recommend.
