New Models for Moon Land-Grab

this is really silly. who wants to live on the moon anyways?

Size of Alaska for Property rights? LAME. How about, all man made material on the moon is your property. Personally though I wouldnt mind at all living in a little dome house growing plants for the rest of my life, as long as I still got my beer and I can wail my guitar 24/7.

I want to be the first person to watch EarthRise from a settlement, and If anyone thinks I am a prosperous being of great intentions they can come help me build a moontropolis. My Owns Laws will take form, as long as they follow 1 Rule - May not harm any being , with the penalty, go build your own domehouse, or deportation back to Earth..

hey this may be a bit much but....how are you gonna deport them to earth? that would cost alot, unless say....its a death penalty.

Land claim recognition? We haven't even settled on the moon yet....We haven't even built any actual habitats and people are already trying to claim land? What a joke

People arnt trying to claim anything, however I am sure you dont want a person to simply claim land you have build on, or all around it. Unfortunatly anti-logical people exist, and we must cope with their ... different way of thinking. So creating claim would sound proper, how about, take every person on the earth, allow 3/4 of the moon to be divided equally, as population increases, lot size decreases, value increases, but not many people anyways will life their comfortably.

Justice would obviously be in order by the people of the moon, or at whatever colonized region they are from, and deportation would be on what cost you figure is worth the being. No Death Penalty, however Self Uthanization would be an option to the criminal. Simply a capsule back to the planet through lauch and propulsion, and its not costly because there is no atmosphere to rebel.

DarkFx you should appoint yourself sheriff of your moon colony and if someone breaks the law give them until sun down to get out of town. Oh wait, that wouldn't work since the moon doesn't rotate. If you did that they could just hang around until the next earth eclipse...

What would happen if religious wars or blood feuds spilled over onto the moon? How would you manage those?

i think that if DarkFX like's the idea so much he can help fund the billions of dollars it will take to live on the moon. I say we take care of Earth frist. Oh yah, i agree with what ND3G, some of DarkFX's idea are crazy!

There should be another prize similar to the X-prize for the first private spaceship to get to the moon and back safely. After that happens or nasa goes back a few times I don't see how anyone could talk about land claims...seems a bit early to mention that.

ND3G of corse the moon rotates, it takes one month to rotate and thats why we have the lunar cycle from full moon to no moon.
so sundown is every two weeks

I think people should do the same thing that we did when we collinized America... After all what the UN gonna do about it? Invade the moon??? Heck NASA cant even get back there with one man let alone an army's worth.

As far as mining goes, I would think first one to grab an asteroid has laid claim but again who is going to stop pirates? Better arm your men and vessel's!
