It could be this fellow...

I've put on weight since then.

That would be us. Our gunships conquered it around 4 billion years ago and planted some evolutionarlily programmed seeds intended to provide us with a crop a delicatessen meats for our royal tables, where only the brains of planetary top predators are eaten. However, owing to an unforseen complication the creatures turned out to be rather bitter and unpleasant and their brains uneconomically small. We have never bothered to harvest the crop.

We will not be back.

I'm beginning to conclude Olly that you're a blumming nutcase

Express dairies have a cheese monopoly, or maybe it's just an oligopoly. So I think the dairy products people will have a claim for certain, otherwise where does it all come from? .

The map suggests they signed and ratified the treaty and it is available to download in Chinese if so desired?

my apologies I have been watching too many old james Bond movies

Same as Antarctica - condominium.

I remember I read a story about this guy who bought the insurance rights for all trips to the moon and according to the contract, any space mission heading for the moon is legally obliged to pay insurance expenses to this guy. I guess NASA just gave him a tremendously freezing cold shoulder...

If any of you think you own any of the Moon, you must be very naive, l bought the whole of the moon off a door to door salesman years ago.

[DBushell]

I just thought i would point out that china are not signatories to the treaty

Must be the Chinese then. In fact I'd hazard a guess to say that if you turn the moon round it says "Made in China" on the back of it.

[AllanJ]

Who thinks they own the Moon? Lunatics.

[Blurred Image]

Never mind who owns it, some "?!$+@" has made off with it and replaced it with... Wait for it... CLOUDS.

Yes, you read it here first, the clouds have replaced the moon.

I want 10 lunar acres so i can enjoy a full earth rise.

I think the crater pikard will be perfect.

It is my last name : pickard, only thing missing is the c of course! !

I think it's The Clangers........

I think the Soup Dragon might have something to say about that!

And Mr Spoon!

I think the Soup Dragon rents, The Clangers are the freeholders.

Not sure about Mr Spoon.

This is something i have thought about for years. No single country "owns" the Moon. Sure America were the first nation to put a man on the moon and plant a flag............does that give them exsclusive rights?.

If that is the case..........................who owns space?......................the Russians, because they were the first nation to put a man into space.

[allcart]

Ah !! but the Russians never stuck a flag in it did they, but if your reasoning is valid, then the monkeys own space.

May be you were thinking about the Moon Treaty, which no one cares about. It's signed by countries with no moon program, and not likely to have one in the foreseeable future.
