Just like any other country, the US can never have any claims on any celestial body.I was joking , but eventually those rules will become obsolete. Once we are able to make other planets and moons more habitable (and gain resources etc.) its going to be first come first serve. Just like the Americas were for the Europeans. Which is troubling since the US is going commercial in this. (Essentially the lore of the killzone series. Space X = Helghan Corp)You know China won't gaf. Any nation that can't go to mars can do nothing to stop it because any nation that can go to mars is going to be a major economic power on earth. There's a reason Japan, Korea, and India are in their own space race now, since that's the new front for warfare (satellites) as well.I think you underestimate what the UN can still do against countries blatantly breaking important treaties like that. It is true that the countries and unions capable of going to Mars are major economic powers, but we're not even close to the point where a single country can dominate the entire global scene. No major country is going to take the risk of being on the receiving end of global economic sanctions.

Feminism and women's rights are more important than landing humans on an asteroid and mars.
