I would not bet against that.....

not very inspiring. not surprising, either.

The space treaty is what killed the space race..

"Oh.. nobody owns anything up there? Meh..let's stay down here."

That treat pretty much killed the earlier incentives of going to space.

"The province of all mankind." Has a definite Manifest Destiny ring to it...

They should most likely read more Sci-Fi. This kind of topic comes up in many good Sci-Fi books.

perhaps if they wrote up the deeds for the star. then perhaps 500 years from now those deeds are still around and my great to the 10th power grandchildren will be rich from owning a star. when stars are worth something

but.. There is no need to. The shear number of stars is staggering.

10 to the 21st Power

1000 Trillian

A Sextillion

1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

There are only 6.864 Billion people.

6,864,000,000

Why would the need to sell a star twice? Ever?
