These creeps aren't going to help US get there, but when WE do....THEY are insisting on Conservation Parks.

Perhaps we should send the Sierra Club to Mars as an advanced scouting party....without space suits.

Give them time. They will soon discover several species of Martian spotted owls and snail darters.

Perfect example of the old adage "getting the cart before the horse."

Is the moon an international property?

What about Mars?

Who "owns" these planets?

US Forest Service already manages a park on the moon. A park is fine, but not if it prohibits all development of resources.

This points out that in spite of the UN Treaty on Outer Space, or because of signing it, we have asserted sovereignty over everything in space, that is, the entire universe.

We'll have to make sure that some portion of the planet remains void of life. Sheesh.

There is no international ownership, but there are overlapping national claims. We have claimed sovereignty over everything.

A nuke might do it. Or not. We don't know that there isn't life there now.

"we have asserted sovereignty over everything in space, that is, the entire universe."

Probably an OK thing to do unless someone/something challenges us "somewhere out there".

That's very discriminatory.

Don't the Martians have the right to their own planet?

This smacks of Manifest Destiny and is specism.

(Yeah, you can learn the left-lingo pretty fast.)

Signing the Treaty was an assertion of sovereignty. If someone else is already out there someplace, we could apply our famous diplomatic techniques to deal with them when the time comes.

A limited right would probably be granted. If they are capable of asserting a right on their own, more power to them.
