Can you claim the moon?
I know about the international treaty saying no one is aloud to claim the moon, but don't you have to sign a treaty in order for it to affect you?
Answers:
If you want to claim it, go ahead. A treaty may prevent any country from recognizing your claim, and you may have to go to war with the entire world to preserve your claim, but sure you can claim the moon.
Nope . just like the guy who bought Mars . All he did was fill out some papers .
I didn't even know someone could own the Moon.
the moon belongs to everyone. it is the Earth's moon.
there has been at least one company for years, that has been selling moon real estate deeds.
true, and how hard is it to prevent someone from going up to the moon, planting a flag, and building a little fort? if you manage to get up there, then it'll take weeks for the other guy to set up a lunar mission to fight you for it! interesting question.
You can claim anything you want but it doesn't make it yours.
The Outer Space Treaty, which states that “outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means,” has been signed and ratified by every state with even a modest space program. You do not have to personally sign a treaty for it to apply to you. The treaty applies to every person in every country since they ratified the treaty.
I thought the Moonies owned the moon.
