If we really want to get into space, the pattern of how we developed the Trans Continental Railroad should be used.
We loaned money to companies and gave them land as an inducement to get them to build the railroad. The loans were repaid, with interest. The previously worthless land was now worth something, and land retained by the government was sold for money.
There was now an infrastructure to produce settlement, which begat other local governments, and new taxes for them.
Literally everybody won. Except maybe the indians. And there are no indians, or perhaps even life, in space.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. All nations, with the possible exception of the most liberal ones, only observe "international law" and continue to honor treaties to the extent that it's in their own best interest. Why should they subject themselves to something that harms them (again, liberals are idiots)just because it's "international"?
The treaty isn't in our best interest, so I'm sure we'll withdrawal soon.
