You&#x27;ll not that India is the only space faring nation that&#x27;s actually signed the Moon Treaty.  The relevant one is the Outer Space Treaty[1] which does prohibit owning celestial bodies but allows groups to establish installations and prohibits interfering with other nations operations so you can de-facto own what you build on.  That&#x27;s a lot better than allowing the USA to claim the whole moon because we got there first with a flag, though.<p>[1]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Outer_Space_Treaty" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Outer_Space_Treaty</a>
