Who will land the next human on the Moon?
Background: A number of countries and private organizations have announced plans for landing a person on the Moon; the last human lunar landing was in 1972. This question will be judged based on the next country or private organization to successfully land a living human on the surface of the Moon. If the mission involves an alliance of multiple entities, the answer category which provides the most funding for the mission will be selected.
