    I don't think anyone should own the moon. That would make it so much less pretty and :whaaa:

    this reminds me of this quote from Super Troopers: " If you have beachfront property dose that mean you own the ocean?"

    Anyway, I always figured no one "owned" the moon even though the US was the first and only one to have people on the moon.

    So it's open to anybody who can live there and not freeze to death?

    That's it. I'm going to Antarctica.

    The Lunarians, I thought. Which would mean FuSoYa.

    or, serious answer:
    whoever owns the Earth. oh wait, no one!

    Oh-my-god. I was just about to say Lunarians! And on a more serious note, I DO think the Lunarians are the right full owners. People say you're american because your born on american soil, so you have a right to America. Well no one was born on the moon and it's been in the sky for a REALLY long time so it's not like we just discovered it. So if we find some kind of living organism, it should get custody.

    Frankly I think we should concentrate on finishing the ISS and replacing the shuttles first. Its way behind schedule and is a bucket of crappy bolts anyway so perhaps we're not ready for space habititation yet. Anyway, if we did go to the moon, I would like to see a fully international base set up. Not just NASA but ESA, JAXA et al. Though I do think that their sights were set way too high and I doubt it'll even be started by 2020.

    Of course, it's going to more or less be taken over completely by whoever gets to it first, and eventually some type of "moon wars" will occur.
    That would make an interesting movie!

    Actually funnily enough you can buy pieces of the moon (for a few grand an acre i think)....i think Tom Cruise owns a few acres of it as well as Victoria Beckham, etc....so whats probably happened is that america has bought enough land to do whatever they wanna do on the big lump of rock.....but it still begs the question who in the world whould own the moon originally to be able to sell it on legally?

    UPDATE:
    In 1980, an American called Dennis Hope now known as the Head Cheese claimed the Moon and all other planets and moons in the solar system. He has granted MoonEstates.com the exclusive rights to sell extraterrestrial land in the United Kingdom. For more details about the ownership of the Moon and other planets and satellites go to About Us or for the whole story go to Frequently Asked Questions.

    Ah, I remember him. He was on some comedy documentary a few years ago by Danny Wallace when he tried to make his London flat a country. Unfortunately Hope's activities are legal I think. Only earth basd governments are prohibited from claiming extraterrestrial land, so he can claim as much as he wants. I hope he gets sued by someone when we do go to live in space as I doubt any contract his customers made with him will be upheld by whoever goes up there first.

    Roger Waters tried to claim complete ownership but it is and always has been property of all the members of Pink Floyd.
