> other planets Interesting to think about, but I have a feeling that once you land on another celestial body, all property will be determined by homestead until a significant number of humans arrive later. Imagine: there you are on Mars, building your habitat structure in a nice crater when the phone rings and NASA says, "Hey, you can't build there, since that's Russia's crater." Your response should be, "Well, when Russia gets here, they can move me off of their property." The ability to enforce property rights is vastly reduced without a local presence representing your interests. Yes, there could be conflict over it here on Earth, but for the people actually off-world, it has no actual enforcement mechanism, especially on one-way missions. Any such treaties and agreements made now are purely for show and political gain by those parties involved.
