Thus, at present, an individual acting on his own behalf or on behalf of another individual or a private association or an international organization could lawfully appropriate any part of outer space, including the moon and other celestial bodies.
What these pinheads continue to fail to understand is that they're interpretation of the OST DOES NOT MATTER. It has no jurisdiction over free people. Nobody owns anything in space (other than things they put there.) Any person has the legal right to make reasonable claims by possession regardless of what anybody on earth has to say about it, yea or nay. What we need to do is set a precedent and hope others will follow it (they will because it pays the cost and is legally enforced by its members; otherwise it's not) which will open up space because the enormous cost is covered for anybody that wants to risk their lives and go if we do.
Otherwise these Bozos will enforce UN control of space...
...it has been suggested that only the United Nations acting on behalf of the world community as a whole should be entitled to appropriate...
There goes liberty and freedom if we allow that to happen. UN control has worked out so well in the past, hasn't it?
People have been looking for a way to cover the cost of space exploration since the beginning. All they need is a light bulb to go off. Let the transportation company make a reasonable claim (1000 sq. km.) for each colonist (each gets one sq. km. claim) they transport for free. This pays for everything and rewards a colonist with assets they can use to grow the economy of the colony in exchange for risking their lives to expand the economic sphere of humanity.
