The discussion revolves around President Bush's proposal for a manned mission to Mars, exploring its implications, motivations, and the broader context of space exploration and ownership. Participants express a range of opinions, from enthusiastic support to skepticism about the underlying motives and legality of extraterrestrial land ownership.
Participants exhibit a mix of agreement and disagreement, with some supporting the idea of space exploration while others challenge the motivations behind it. The legality of private ownership of celestial bodies remains a contentious topic, with no consensus reached on the implications of the Outer Space Treaty.
The discussion highlights the complexities of space law, particularly regarding private versus national ownership rights, and the varying interpretations of international treaties. Participants acknowledge the grey areas in legal frameworks governing outer space activities.

Hummm I had said "Politics and World Affairs", but not this specific thread, but it does seem to fit, just that, I was just about to announce that I had discovered (and patented) the Holy Grail of all Bi !Nth opportunities, the Patent rights to the original structure of the universe, of which everything in the universe is made of, hence My declaration that I (Mr. Robin Parsons AT # !1 "No" space) am sole proprietor of everything material/physical/structural{ly designed out of my original model} in the entirety of the Universe...but your getting in my way Nereid!
I want to be Mr. Robin Parsons' best friend.
Mr. Robin Parsons, you are truly a permanent resident of the ozone!

Yes and one of the points made was that it wouldn't be out of money that he would be, then, accountable towards...it is not exactly a new Idea, but coming from a President it does carry more thought...but the Title indicates the Originating Authors belief (Loren Booda) that it was a "Red Herring" hence what followed fell into proprietary rights to the end result of such ventures, something that I had wanted to point out as being probably different then what most think of "off of the cuff" so to speak, to be there, on Mars, and live, growing food, and reliant upon only 'self sufficiency' not what would be called a tourist trip. (although it would probably make for a great adventure, as a tourist trip!) {Go figure!}
