Americans are the aboriginal people of the Moon. It’s all ours, I say! Any other nation that touches it is an evil imperialist.
Despite the risk of losing face for being capitalist, we must consider that China, if they don’t block us by commanding the high ground first, is likely to start dropping into the same craters to gather the same resources and will most certainly experience many “accidents” injuring us and like minded nations in the process. Forming a working group between nations here and now to deal with Chinas claims when they inevitably try to go to the UN tomorrow gives us a head start in correcting outdated law.
We need to take it, hold it, by presence an, if necessary, force. If we don’t, I guarantee you that the Chinese will.
