The fact that the FAA “lets” anyone do anything on the moon is a real problem.

The U.S. has no right to grant anything as a result of treaty that guarantees socialism on the Moon. That right has already been ceded to international authority.

Try to sue me or prosecute me and watch the jurisdictional appeal.

Jurisdiction in the world court has already been agreed upon by treaty.

I thought the moon was the equivalent of international waters

Bingo.

Treaties come and treaties go, eh?

Treaties come and treaties go, eh?

Absolutely! All this country needs to do is withdraw from it. If that happens, private investment seeks profit and we are off to the races. As it is now, nobody will invest if you have to turn over profit to the UN.
