With real estate prices sky high, pollution choking our cities, and civic amenities stretched to the limit, it might be a good idea to move to a quiet, clean neighbourhood. How about the moon? That too for just a couple of thousand rupees!
Signed by 104 countries, the treaty became the basis of international space law. According to the treaty, "Outer space, including the moon and other celestial bodies, is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means."
However, the outer space treaty states that governments "shall bear international responsibility for national activities in outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, whether such activities are carried on by governmental agencies or by non-governmental entities."
It is signed by "Jean Sebastian Belanger, Registrar on behalf of the Lunar Republic Socielty."
