Who "Owns" The Moon?

i think your looking at this picture wrongly at the moment. for a start by the time we can utilze reasources from the moon im sure all nations will be cooperating as a whole planetory force not USA vs China etc.

The odds are far more likely it will be a corporation working with the military.

Governments come and go, but the military industrial complex has the staying power to pull it off.

What? Who said the ocean's water supply is renewable. Granted, it is recycling, but if you remove it from Earth, then water doesn't develop or replace itself on its own.

Please explain?

Cheers

this is what I'm worried about regarding the moon & harvesting its resources to use on earth. Surely this would inevitably affect the overall density and mass of the moon itself, thus affecting the earth & everyone & everything on it.
Water is a renewable resource: it is a natural resource that is replaced by natural processes. (also timber, alcohol derived from vegetable sources, solar energy, wind, etc)

The only instance I can see for water to be a non-renewable resource would be a localized one, ie: groundwater removal.
I never said anything about removing it from earth.

No the amount of HE3 on the moon would not be heavy enough to effect anything and all the other materials would be use ISRU (in situ resource utilization) on the moon for a colony or base. It would no be cost effective to ship to Earth not even gold at its current value

But we have sent literally tons of junque into space and its not enough to ruin the planet (makes a mess in local space though... all those toilet flushes just floating around out there ewwwwwwww)

Anyway it's a moot point... I just bought the moon and have a document to prove it...

That's exactly my point. We still haven't grown out of our "conquest" stage. We ran the American Indians out of their land and so we'll just run off or kill anything that might be on the Moon as well.

After all, why should be break a winning streak?

It's a ridiculous notion. We are supposed to be maturing and broadening our view of the universe. It seems that all we are doing is plotting new targets for conquest. That's why we assign target numbers to all of the new planets discovered among the stars. We'll never grow up. No wonder other intelligent life avoids contact.

Cheers.

Well rumor has it that we were told to get off the moon during Apollo and we never went back officially. And now Obama has cut NASA's throat by cutting any funding to go back to the Moon... they will be allowed to go to asteroids though...

So either TPTB already made a deal... or we really were warned off

The only reason we should go to the Moon, is to build a base there for future space exploration. If that isn't the goal, then no real point in going back.

Probably been mentioned (maybe even by me) on this thread, but the Moon is kind of like Antarctica.... There's a pact between many UN members that no member nation can lay claim to it...belongs to mankind. Of course, not everyone has signed it, so there's that....

I own an Acre of the moon...got it as a Chrismas present a few years ago.

Its my escape plan when 2012 happens, oh wait i mean when the anti-christ arrives, no wait i meant when this ice age happens, actually i really meant when the alien invasion happens...

Oh it doesnt matter...i'll go just before nibiru gets here....
