When will we be able to claim (small amounts of) real estate in space? It seems like Mars, for example, at some point will just be an extension of the Earth. Once we are able to start colonizing I think then we could have personal property. Do you guys think real estate on other planets in the future are going to be a thing?

Because right now it's not recognized by any states at all

>When will we be able to claim

When you get there.

>Because right now it's not recognized by any states at all

They won't be able to stop you from claiming once you get there.

>It seems like Mars, for example, at some point will just be an extension of the Earth.

dont ever fucking reply to me again unless you're contributing to the thread

The Outer Space Treaty forbids claiming ownership of land on other planets. The only things you own on Mars will be those you put there.
>Article II
>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.

>Implying the treaty applies to nations that start on Mars.

>Implying we wont capture and detain any fucker who tries to secede to Mars.
B-but user! He'll take a whole colony ship!
>Implying colony ships wont have military personnel onboard.

Personal Property will long be abolished by the time we colonize space.

If you have the resources to get to mars, you have the resources to develop missiles and anti-aircraft artillery to shoot down the spacecraft coming to take your land.

>You can do something about it

Who the fuck are we talking about here? You're making a lot of assumptions.

>Implying the treaty applies to nations that start on Mars.
Well no, but then there's also no reason for anyone to recognise those "nations" claims either.
The reason that it matters that (for example) the USA signed the OST is that people would care if they tried to lay claim on the Moon.

>le socialist utopia

Different user here, I want a socialist utopia and it includes personal property, don't be absurd.

Mars will be included in capitalism once you can actually operate there.

you probably do, huh

what about when the gov't decides to take away your space suit, because its not your property? Where will you run then?

>>includes personal property
>what if your property is taken away
Socialism =/= China, contrary to popular belief.

oh, you worded it ambiguously

You can there is a loophole: space mining.

Nations own stuff they put into space and are liable for damages caused by said things. And nations are free to use space resources however they like. If you mine resources, they become part of the space thing and you own it, much in the same way fishing companies own fish they catch.

So if you build a house on the moon you own it

>So if you build a house on the moon you own it
If you build a house on the Moon then you own the house, not the Moon.

I agree with , I think it's very difficult that we get to really colonise Mars without a worldwide collaboration between nations where the economic interests are shared, ergo an utopia.

This is such a /pol/ thread. Has literally nothing to do with science.

It has nothing to do with jewish conspiracies either, so it's not a /pol/ thread. Veeky Forums will have the highest concentration of people who have thought about space colonization.

Eh, discussion of space and the OST is pretty comon on Veeky Forums, and I can see how this thread is an outgrowth of topics than come up when talking about things like the colonisation of Mars.
As far as I can tell, /pol/ doesn't really seem to care about space. The /pol/tards are probably all shitposting in four(!) different race threads.

Why should any earthly nation give a shit about Martian politics and launch missiles that travel for months only to destroy some fuckers you'll never meet? A colony will never be more than a huge prestige project; prestige that won't disappear even in the event of formal secession. Colonies in space beyond Earth's orbit won't have economic value in the foreseeable future. Maybe when a big interstellar mission is launched, but we're far away from that point.

>When will we be able to claim (small amounts of) real estate in space?

as soon as you spread your asscheeks.

Fucking sjwtards are getting triggered out of nowhere now. I'm sick of seeing your ihatepol spams in every thread. Don't ever visit a science board when you deny everything about science.

Just like Anatartica, any claims are gonna be made by people who ignore the treaty and encourage a war.

My guess is that native Martian humans from the first colonies will claim the land.

No-one cares.
Go away.
