Default Re: Who owns the moon?

I don't think countries would be fighting over the moon. They'd be more interested in the North Pole with oil.

Although several pennants of the Soviet Union were scattered by Luna 2 in 1959 and by later landing missions, and U.S. flags have been symbolically planted on the Moon, no nation currently claims ownership of any part of the Moon's surface.

Russia and the U.S. are party to the Outer Space Treaty, which places the Moon under the same jurisdiction as international waters. This treaty also restricts the use of the Moon to peaceful purposes, explicitly banning military installations and weapons of mass destruction.

It's basically my thoughts on what has happened in the past and what has currently happened.
