Water Found on Moon

[Covar]

NASA finds 'significant' amount of water on moon

 

[Hylian]

And soon people will flock to the moon in order to harvest the water and bottle it up to sell to rich fools on earth. :falldown:

 

[LittleSin]

Does that mean we can move to the moon now?

...does any one country OWN the moon?

 

[Jay]

Canada

 

[Dave]

Isn't Japan the moon people according to Juski?

I thoughed that the Inhuman lived there.

Does this means that Inhuman are japanese? or that japanese are Inhuman?

 

[Zappit]

And in that water, ladies and gentlemen, is where we will find the Loch Ness Monster.

 

[Dave]

Nessy's on the MOON?!?

 

[Iaculus]

Hope it hasn't spoiled the cheese.

 

[Green_Lantern]

Nessy's on the MOON?!?

Well we haven't seen him on Earth lately...

 

[Allen who is Quiet]

if anybody needs me, I'm going to go start up a whaling business on the moon

 

[Gusto]

And I'll start my OWN theme park!

 

[Hylian]

With blackjack and hookers!

 

[Allen who is Quiet]

In fact, forget whaling.

 

[@Li3n]

I knew it, those damn moon peopel are stealing all out water... Dey stole Mah water...

 

[GasBandit]

Glee!

 

[Soliloquy]

Kind of funny that we wasted all that time looking for water on mars

 

[Shannow]

Yeah, the Moonites...they are kinda dicks.

No country owns the moon. Thats the simple answer

With the space race in full flower, though, the real worry was national sovereignty. Both the United States and the Soviet Union wanted to reach the moon first but, in fact, each was more worried about what would happen if they arrived second. Fears that the competition might trigger World War III led to the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, which was eventually ratified by 62 countries. According to article II of the treaty, "Outer Space, including the moon and other celestial bodies, is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sover*eignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means."

Preventing WWIII. pretty much a good excuse for anything.

Excellent - the masquerade works.

Any city you'd particularly like the Union Jack carved onto with an orbital laser? :toocool:

And by WW3 they mean "the moonmen are going to annihilate us"
if we don't...

Carve "You guys suck" into the moon

But do it right.

basically No nation can claim rights over the moon, private citizens can theoretically own peices, but good luck getting to it, using it, and defending your rights if someone else decides they own your part of the moon too.

Look, it was a long trip to Earth and I didn't want to leave water on Uranus.

That is right. Private citizen can "try" to own a part of the moon, but since a nation can't claim it and thus that property is NOT protected by that nation, so in theory anyone can rob you of your stuff unless you can protect your own stuff (in theory)

Now lets say if U.S. built a moon-base, I'm sure that base would be consider U.S. property as long it is functioning and occupied, once abandon, does it consider to be U.S. property or anyone can scavenge it?

Potentially, yes, I mean, if it you are going to invest something being built in another celestial bodie an then abandon it you probably had a good reason to do so.

Either way, If we do indeed get to colonize the moon, I can see this cause some major problems. I actually picturing those crazy people that shoot anyone near they houses... IN SPACE!

Yea. I'm sure the structure will have some nation sovereignty attach to it, but probably limit to the actual structure + some distant that would be consider "x" nation unless you abandon then someone else can take over.

(of course this is a total guess) I remember that the U.S. WAS planning a moon colony but not sure what happen to that idea.

Once we can make a serious fusion bottle, and can use the Helium3 found in the regolith in insane amounts (compared to Earth), there will be tons of colonies/mining points there. That's when no one will ask "What's space goooooood for?"

Right now the largest repository of H3 on earth are the moon soil samples NASA brought back.
