51st State

The Outer Space Treaty of 1967, signed by the USA, USSR, and the UK:

"The exploration and use of outer space shall be carried out for the benefit and in the interests of all countries and shall be the province of all mankind;

Outer space shall be free for exploration and use by all States;

Outer space is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means"

Sorry Newt. Can't build an all-American moon base like you promised. You can put a flag on the moon, but you cannot claim property on it, not a square millimeter. We're just going to have to cooperate with those "foreigners".
