Yesterday, I heard an interesting programme about who owns space. Clive Andersen talked to the various people who have claims on bits of space, from the moon to the immense diamond star, nicknamed Lucy. The programme had a curious balance, at one take mocking these people and how they are selling paper worth nothing, but at the other taking them seriously and analysing the business model at face value.

Didn't someone buy the claim the moon as their own a while back? If so, how did they go through a process to gain right to call it their own?
