Any questions?

Yes. What the hell are you talking about? You claimed that "Governments will never allow a private Corporation to [establish a lunar base]." The text you posted says nothing of the kind.

What it does say is that any private company operating on the moon must be authorized to do so by one of the countries signatory to the treaty — a fact which I do not dispute, and have not disputed.

I'm not sure there's any benefit to continuing this discussion. You make claims, fail to support them, and then ask if I have any questions. Well, yes, I do. My first question is: do I really care what you think on this topic?

The answer is "no". I therefore bid you good day.

Yes I did and a corporate owned lunar Base is impossible with that Treaty in place the signatories agreed that any such endeavor will be controlled by the State.

Read again these words: "shall require authorization and continuing supervision by the appropriate State Party to the Treaty"

Any corporate Moon Base will be controlled by the Government period. So sez the Treaty. No doubt replete with a Federal LEO and a number of bureaucrats running things. The Government is not going to give away that control and no corporation is stupid enough to go and set up such when such a treaty exists.

So it will be a Nation State to setup the first Moon Base. Corps will no doubt go there and supply it and rent or purchase space on or near it but the Government will oversee it and regulate it.

Unless of course we withdraw from that treaty. Do you think Obama will?

hahahahah
