the gist of the treaty:
1. no nation/state may claim any extraterrestrial real estate (applies to colonies, but conceivably also to such things as power generation, etc...)
2. no private claims are permitted (no mining for profit, etc...)
3. no part of space must never be militarized (taking the ultimate high-ground forbidden by law)

I oppose all of the above.

Thanks. When I get a chance, I'll read up on it.
