Loading...It seems like an odd question, but it’s worth asking: who owns the moon? You may think, “Well, nobody, of course,” but remember, this is barely any space left on Earth that isn’t claimed to be owned by someone, whether privately or through a government. Why shouldn’t it be the same with the moon, or at least will become the same in the coming years?
In this interesting video by Michael Stevens of Vsauce1, you will learn all about the politics of moon real estate, along with a bunch more, as is with most Vsauce videos; you get more than the title would suggest. After giving you an outline of moon politics, Michael seamlessly goes on to talk about what it means to own something in the first place, and who the first person was to touch the moon. Altogether, the video is very informative and interesting, not only telling you a lot of information about a lot of topics but weaving it together to tell one amazing story – a story about lunar politics.
