You say space isn't ours if ours=Americans but space is ours for ours=humans.
I disagree. Space is there, and it's fine for us to explore it (although space garbage is an issue), but claiming it is just typical human pettiness.
- derleth 14y agoIt really depends on what you mean by 'claiming', doesn't it? If 'claiming' means "We have exclusive rights to it and ET better just watch out", then that's insane. I've also never heard anyone make that argument.
- GuiA 14y agoFrom OP's article: "It will belong to us. It will belong to humans." It's a slippery slope. Replace "space" by "Palestine" and you will have a perfect example of what happens when different groups have different notions of how ownership of physical space is defined.
