Who Owns The Moon?
This is a rigorous non-fiction examination of space governance and planetary ethics. It traces the arc from feudal commons and the law of the sea to today’s terra nullius debates, asking who would truly own the Moon, Mars, and other near-space bodies while highlighting our shared responsibilities to life on Earth. Intended for policy-minded readers, students, and curious adults, the tone is thoughtful, timely, and provocative.
The content blends historical analysis with contemporary policy discussion, presenting space-resource questions through legal frameworks, ethical considerations, and practical scenarios. It offers a bold argument for a global consensus that protects the rights of everyone on this planet. Learning emerges from careful reasoning, clear definitions, and connections to real-world debates about resource access, environmental stewardship, and international cooperation.
Readers engage through a structured, idea-driven approach that invites reflection. The book moves smoothly from historical precedents to modern dilemmas, making complex topics accessible without sacrificing rigor. It challenges you to weigh competing claims, consider governance models, and imagine policies that balance innovation with shared responsibility.
