marine salvage rules might apply... which means the ownership is not maintained.

• craftyguy 9y ago
  How though? Don't marine salvage rules depend on the original owner no longer being in control of the object (i.e. it's in 'peril')? If that's not the case, then it seems like anyone with the resources could go pick up the Curosity rover, or snatch up the Hubble.

    hubble is being controlled - by its gyros. Curiosity is still under its own power. there might be special rules for things that aren't specifically craft - like observation equipment.
