Moon Property Rights

Posted by: Jim in Moon on  

A recent article in Popular Mechanics discussed the idea of private property rights for the Moon. I for one am in favor as it has been shown historically that it enhances progress and protection. The individual has always been the primary force behind development and protection. Wheter it is in hte arts or sciences the individual comes first as he or she has the internal creative power and built in moral imperative that has seen to best address the needs of new territiores and discoveries. As my previous post regarding the greening of Mars indicates we need a new set of visions for space and privatizing the Moon is one of them. It is man's job to be both a developer and a steward and that does not end with the earth.

I was wondering if you were going to touch on this point. I agree; as powerful as it would be green Mars, I don't think anything will ever attract interest more than the potential for personal gain or glory. I suspect space will have to be privatized before much happens in the way of expansion.

So, tell me, why doesn't anyone comment on your blog?
