Who Owns the Moon?: Extraterrestrial Aspects of Land and Mineral Resources Ownership

Moon mine opening virgiliu pop romanian space agency


Virgiliu Pop (born in 1974) is a Romanian space lawyer and author. He has claimed ownership of the Sun in order to make a point about extraterrestrial property rights claims that he argues are bogus. He has asserted that the Moon is a "commons", but also predicts that this status wouldn't last if lunar exploitation were to become practical.

Contents

He works for the Romanian Space Agency and is publicly active in promoting space efforts in Romania.
