Russian space agency says Trump paving way to seize other planets

The Russian space agency, Roscosmos, accused Donald Trump on Tuesday (7 April) of creating a basis to take over other planets by signing an executive order outlining US policy on commercial mining in space.
The executive order, which Roscosmos said damaged the scope for international cooperation in space, was signed on Monday.
It said the United States would seek to negotiate “joint statements and bilateral and multilateral arrangements with foreign states regarding safe and sustainable operations for the public and private recovery and use of space resources”.
It said US citizens should have the right to engage in such activity and that “outer space is a legally and physically unique domain of human activity, and the United States does not view it as a global commons”.

Increasing the mass of the Earth will cause its orbit to move away from the sun.

If it is a global commons, then why is earth not the same in their minds as Russia has borders? And why are their lucrative oil and natural gas mining operations government owned? Little disparity there.

There are asteroids in the Ort Cloud which consist of almost pure platinum or pure gold. It will not be long before we are “mining” them.
The cost of gold or platinum would plummet!

Yes but so would the cost of electricity and computers. We would have effective super-conduction.
