Can a country claim the moon as their territory..!?
We made the mission to the moon, we can't claim to own it. Countries that have experimented on the moon do not claim that the moon belongs to them. international laws do not accept that. Now the eyes of the world are on the moon. What's on Jabilli? What gases are there? What minerals are there? Is it suitable for human habitation or not? Is there water? How about if? Questions arise. Can we build a house on the moon, is there water? Is there wind? The questions are silly. We have launched an experiment on the moon, we cannot claim to own it. Countries that have experimented on the moon do not claim that the moon belongs to them. international laws do not accept that.

In 1979, the moon Agreement came to the fore. According to this, no government, international, non-government organizations, or individuals should claim the moon as their property. It is not possible to set up colonies there and own Jabilli. Chandamama and its natural resources are the common property of mankind. This agreement came into force in 1984. However, America, Russia, and China, which have sent landers to Chandama, have not yet ratified this agreement. As a follow-up to the Space Treaty, the US proposed the Artemis Treaty in 2020 to safely conduct experiments on Mars. It includes Canada, Japan, and europe as partners. india has also recently joined it.
