Elon Musk wants to put a colony on the moon. For the sake of the conversation, let’s say he succeeds in doing that. No country or government owned property there, so does that mean that if space colonization becomes a reality corporations will then start owning planets and moons?

Antarctica styles, will eventually get spliced up peacefully to whomever wishes to set up camp there.
A moon base is a good idea because it develops off Earth probably a more efficient launch base into space, not to mention building large spacecraft in lunar orbit &/or the moon's non gravity.
Likely not for another 100yrs though... we don't have money.

Who owns the Moon? Why, the Man in the Moon, of course. It was decided by a 5-4 vote in the Supreme Court of the Universe, 3005 A.D.—Man in the Moon v. Earth. Surely you’ve heard of it.
The majority held: “It can be determined then, logically, that petitioner had lived in the Moon for three-thousand years; respondent does not dispute this claim. In view of Jones v. Earth, 2056, and the 97th Amendment, we reverse and remand the Court of Appeals.”
The dissent argued that it was a dangerous precedent and noted that Moonmen have no legal standing under Earthling law.
Very controversial case.

Seriously, though, it's a good opportunity to start a world government. So basically everyone owns it.

Some conspiracy theorists believe the Moon is really a space station (similar to the Star Wars Death Star) and that it was brought here thousands of years ago, by Aliens. There are a few ancient historical writings that reference a " time before the moon". Even many scientists have trouble trying to explain the moon's origins. NASA crashed a couple of Apollo Lunar Modules onto the surface of the Moon, and it rang like a bell for over an hour, suggesting that the Moon may in fact be hollow... (Have you ever looked at the moon's craters, and wonder why they are all the same depth?) If true... then these Aliens own the moon... I'm not sure if it would be wise to build a colony there... Other conspiracy theorists believe that there are already secret human colonies there. Then some people say, the moon isn't real at all, but some kind of a simulator. I guess no one can own something that isn't real... But, for now, I would have to agree with twothousandonemark ... It would probably work like the international treaties that were set up for Antarctica. |

Yes. Interplanetary and interstellar travel will be run strictly by private enterprise because of how our society works. The goal will be to set up multiple civilizations in other solar systems so our cancerous species will never go out of style. Even if that happens the meteor showers and tidal waves will come eventually.

I don't know if this is true or not, but you can buy property (acres) on the moon through the The Lunar Registry and be provided a deed stating you own a certain portion of it.
Honestly, I think it's a joke. I can't see how you could technically own any part of something in our solar system without some form of government stepping in and intervening.
Besides, how in the heck are you supposed to get there? Are you going to blast yourself into space? How much would the gear and equipment cost? Is there training?
We already have enough stupid people here on planet Earth that can barely operate a motor vehicle properly, let alone try to inhabit another planet. I can imagine some dolt walking outside without a spacesuit and suddenly dying due to a lack of oxygen.
I suppose one of these days we will colonize the moon. I just don't see it happening in our lifetime.

I just don't see it happening in our lifetime. That reminds me of a story I read in a magazine about some woman who won a flight to space on a bottle of Mountain Dew. She was to go up on one of the shuttles, do a space walk, always wanted to go to space because it was her dad's dream, blah blah blah etc... That was eighteen years ago. Whenever I hear something really out there, like buying land on the moon for example, I am reminded of that story. |

From 1969 till now, and nothing has happened! And there are dreams to go to Mars, and even thoughts that a Jupiter moon could be great once Earth blows up itself, Jupiter moon?? My great great great great grand children would be the firsts on Io Io  ? the one who came up with that name, was he totally out of ideas, or did he (could be a she) listen to a cat, they do strange sounds from time tome |
