Who developed the resources on the moon first?

With the development of economy and the intensification of human activities, the energy and resources on the earth are gradually exhausted and the environment is deteriorating. Science fiction writers and scientists all have the idea of emigrating to other planets. Of course, with the current technology of mankind, it is impossible to immigrate into space. The only alien planet that humans have set foot on is the moon. In the future, if human beings master relevant technologies, how should countries divide them?

At present, the most likely alien planet for human beings to use and exploit is the moon, which is not only close to the earth, but also rich in rare metal resources. The lunar soil contains a large amount of helium 3, which can be used as the energy source of helium fusion nuclear power plant. The electricity generated by the reaction is safe and pollution-free, which is suitable for space navigation. At present, many big countries regard obtaining helium 3 resources as an important goal of developing the moon. After all, the cost of lunar exploration activities is quite huge.

So how do countries on earth divide the resources on the moon? Many people think this is the principle of first come, first served. Whoever landed on the moon first and mastered the technology of exploiting resources and bringing them back to the earth belongs to which country. This sounds reasonable, but it is very unfavorable for some small countries. Those small countries will never land on the moon. Obviously, the resources on the moon have nothing to do with them. To this end, they urged the United Nations to legislate on human space activities, and the United Nations also promulgated the Outer Space Treaty 1967 to regulate human space activities.

However, this law still has no influence on space powers. 1969, American Apollo 1 1 spacecraft landed on the moon, and man set foot on the moon for the first time. At this time, countries on earth are full of worries. They see the possibility of human beings setting foot on other planets and are worried about the future: if developed countries such as the United States occupy the moon and other planets, what should other countries do? In order to regulate human exploitation of other planets, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Moon Agreement in 1979.

This treaty stipulates that the moon should be used for the benefit of all countries and people in the international community, and military activities on any celestial body, such as building weapons test bases or military bases, are not allowed. In addition, the treaty also stipulates that no country may declare its sovereign territory on any celestial body. The treaty looks beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Why do you say that? The reason is that few countries in the world have signed this treaty, especially those countries that can explore space have not joined it. The United States, the Soviet Union (Russia), China, Japan, India and other countries did not sign the Treaty, but Australia, Morocco, Mexico and other countries without the ability to develop space signed and joined the Treaty. Therefore, the treaty is essentially a dead letter and is not binding on space powers.
