Not a lawyer, but I would imagine the definition of abandoned has some sense of an indistinguishable owner. In the case of Apollo 11, the owner is quite clear.

On the other hand, if you consider the law of "Finders Keepers, losers weepers" It is clearly Bezos to do what he wants.
- smackfu 15y agoWell, I don't see how it differs from a sunken ship, really.
- _delirium 15y agoIn that case, the owner of the ship typically is still the original owner, but there is a whole "law of salvage" that determines what payment, or share of the treasure if it's things like sunken gold, the finder should get.
- omegant 15y agoI don't know if that is the case with state ships. Recently Spain has recovered a gold and silver treasure from the odissey company(they recovered it from a spanish sunked 1800s tall ship)
