If the moon is habitable, how will countries divide the land of the moon?

Resolution 34/68, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly 1979 on February 5, really created such a document, trying to regulate human activities on the moon and other celestial bodies. The full name of the document is the Agreement on the Activities of States on the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies, also known as the Moon Agreement or the Celestial Bodies Agreement.

This agreement is so long that I won't copy it. The basic meaning is this:

1. The moon and other celestial bodies, including space orbits, are the common property of mankind;

Second, everyone should cooperate and go there for scientific research;

Third, the benefits of development are for everyone;

Fourth, we can't monopolize, conflict and militarize, build military bases on the moon and other planets, let alone acquire weapons of mass destruction on them.

Obviously, these are all weak countries trying to bind the strong countries, so the strong countries don't buy it except Austria, the Philippines and other 16 countries. The five permanent members of the United Nations and some countries that thought they could go abroad for an airspace did not sign it. France and India signed it first, but later it was not approved.

At present, there are three countries that can launch probes to the moon for a soft landing: the United States, the former Soviet Union and China; The only country that sent people up there was the United States. Americans have never been to the moon since the Apollo program ended in 1972. The former Soviet Union stopped there in 1959 after sending the Lunar 2 probe to the surface of the moon. Our Chang 'e III landed successfully, and Chang 'e IV landed early next year.

Decades of research shows that the moon is poor in resources and bad in environment, which is not suitable for human survival. In addition, the distance is long, and it costs a lot of money to launch a spacecraft to the moon every time. Even if the moon is full of gold, it is extremely uneconomical to transport it back to the earth from an economic point of view, so no country will choose to build a military base on the moon in order to occupy the moon resources.

Similarly, the military value of the moon is extremely limited. As we said at the beginning, it is 380,000 kilometers away from the earth. No matter whether communication equipment or offensive or defensive weapons are placed on the moon, their functions are far less effective than being launched into near-earth orbit, so no country will try to militarize the moon in the foreseeable future. Even if the United States has a big brain hole and builds a space military base on the moon, other countries are just joking.
