Who Own’s the Moon A.C. Grayling

In “Who Owns the Moon? In Defence of Humanity’s Common Interests in Space,” A.C. Grayling explores the question of ownership of the Moon and other celestial bodies as the world’s superpowers and corporations increasingly turn their attention to space for resources and strategic advantage. Drawing parallels from historical events like the colonization of Africa and the management of Antarctica and the oceans, Grayling argues for a new global consensus to protect space resources and prevent conflict. He examines existing international treaties and calls for urgent action to establish regulations that recognize space as the common possession of humanity, emphasizing the need for responsibility even if no one truly “owns” the Moon.
