[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jernau Morat Gurgeh: [QB] [QUOTE]On the other hand, our signing a UN treaty that said that no one could lay claim to any celestial body from asteroids on up was a clear impediment to commercial interests in space. [/QUOTE] Well, this is the first I've heard of such a treaty. However, to me it doesn't seem to be that much of an impediment to commerce in space. If you don't own an asteroid you can still mine it or whatever. You just won't be the [i]only[/i] person to be able to mine it. So in a way I think that this would be beneficial in that it would create a race to mine the resources which, like the arms race, would further technology in general. I also think that such an agreement is absolutely necessary in preventing future possible conflicts, though I'm sure conflicts will still arise, regardless. [/QB][/QUOTE]
