I'm curious...has jurisdiction over the moon been hashed out to any degree? Should a country or private industry wish to set up bases, mine resources, etc. may they do so with impunity? While I don't foresee such events happening in the very near future I'd imagine that they certainly will...perhaps even in our lifetimes. Clearly only a handful of countries/consortiums will be technologically/financially capable of such a feat. Will they and they alone dictate what occurs? I'm also curious about the aforementioned questions in re: to Mars.
Anyone here have facts? Opinions?
