    No. The US as specifically stated that it makes no territorial claims on the moon. The flag just shows that Americans had visited there.

    The sign they left up there proves you wrong:

    "Here Men From The Planet Earth First Set Foot Upon the Moon, July 1969 A.D. We Came in Peace For All Mankind."

    Plus the fact the US couldn't have gotten to the moon without Canadian help and know-how.

    Nope. Like Antarctica, nobody owns it. There is no "earthling" flag, and the US was the first to land there, so that's the flag. The moon may be a natural resource, but like Antarctica, is a miserable place to live.

    @Target...You forgot "I WILL destroy the environment for future generations" and "I WILL delay discovery of alternative methods so BAIN can get richer."

    No, there's some sort of agreement at the United nations saying nobody can own it or any celestial body. I don't think that covers the asteroids though.

    We need a colony in outer space where we can deposit obama, and the moon is not far enough away.
