With this we can also conclude that the US has now made a claim to the rights of "Space", in general. Very much in line with the Guano Islands Act of 1865.

- wavefunction 11y agoI wonder why we can conclude that? It seems to just be a ruling stating that American companies that go into space and mine celestial bodies are allowed to return those extracted resources to Earth. It doesn't seem to say anything about other countries or companies based in other countries. I'm not exactly keen on unfettered exploitation of these resources or the unforeseen consequences of unregulated extraction but I'm not sure how you can draw your conclusion?
