When transferring ownership of a planet, is it done through a cryptographic transaction like in Bitcoin, or is it a plain transfer of a private key that manages the planet?
If it's the latter I can see how 'second hand space' really is a bad idea as there's no way to enforce the transfer of a private key.

You broadcast the new key and can prove that the old key is invalid via the revocation certificate, but there is no distributed consensus mechanism, e.g. a blockchain; the new information simply is propagated throughout the routing network.
