It’s an interesting thought exercise to discuss who “owns” the moon legally or even morally, but as a practical matter whoever is able to get to the moon, establish a presence, and defend it owns it.

Why, Donald Trump owns the moon, of course. And Vladimir Putin owns Donald Trump. And therefore, Vladimir Putin owns the moon.

The moon does not belong to one person, organization, country or species. It belongs to the earth and the solar system.

But who runs the Sol System?
Everything and everyone in it. No one should own space and no one should have dominion over it.
I can’t answer that, but…
I do know the man who sold the world.

I agree with you. But I think in the end it would be like the Antarctic. It should be preserved for humanhood, but it is just another frontier like the Yukon or the California during the Gold Rush.

Space is going to call for new way of looking at things and a new way of behaving. We should ask an astronaut what they think.
