who owns the moon at all
world probably we are of course
Article 11 of the Agreement governing
state activities on the moon and
other celestial bodies reads as follows
the moon can be the subject of any
national ownership by proclamation
sovereignty or by
of use or occupation or by
no other way so that’s it
no one can own the moon but
what it could be that this is a
little more complicated than that we know
that only seven countries have ratified
treaty
Austria Chile Chile Morocco Countries
down the peru the philippines and
the proud Uruguay, that means
that the 192 other nations of the
planet may have taken territory
on the moon as they see fit
probably not there is another
document named seven times processed and
United Nations principles relating to
outer space or in bed
clearly in Article 2 the space
Outer including the moon
and other celestial bodies can not
be the subject of national ownership
by proclamation of sovereignty or by
way of use or occupation
by no means the two extracts
this recent one will put in June one of
only difference is that the second
account 104 and lover the new star but
here we have the answer to our
question
nobody can appropriate a
territory on the moon wait a little
the moon can not be the subject of any
national ownership
what is it very sad says whatever
whether it concerns individuals not
let’s all run the moon but
indeed the two treaties are not
clear about the property
deprived of space which gives
inevitably the opportunity to
some people enjoy the
system
in 1953 a Chilean lawyer and poet did
touches me our guys at dover was getting
famous doing legally a
official proclamation claiming that he
owned the moon
of course nobody took it at
serious but the legend tells all
as well as the president of the states
united of the time
ritchen the excellent would have asked him
permission to land on the moon
in 1969
although I doubt the veracity of
this legend there is still
a moral issue
behind all that in my opinion there is
two main motivations that we
encourage us humans to explore the
first that we can call
qualify as more human and the
satisfaction that brings exploration
and discovery to our curiosity
in other words, it’s our curiosity
fear that drives us to learn
and discover no matter the others
circumstances
and then comes the second motivation
this one is a bit more universal it’s
to say that it does not just apply
to exploration
we are obviously talking about the lure of gain
of course it’s second motivation
is just as much human as the
first in the sense that she was
train sact to the character of the man and
of the woman but not necessarily
in the meaning
the adjective human has a connotation
similar to the adjective altruistic
let’s move now to 1962
a few years before the famous
giant for humanity
while president john f kennedy
uttered a few words that inspired
the whole america in his
famous speech announcing that
united states was undertaking a trip on
the moon
I quote the man in his quest for
knowledge and progress and
determined and nothing can prevent it
to advance
the exploration of space will make us
let’s embark to explore this new
ocean
because there is new knowledge to
acquire new rights to
to conquer
they must be conquered used for
the progress of all peoples would be
may be interesting to note
that while united states party
astronauts drop a plaque on
the moon signed by the president excels
in that same country bomb the south east
from Asia with over 7 million
tons of explosives as had it so well
said carlos eagle we congratulated ourselves
of our humanity
we were not going to hurt anyone
on a rock without life
but jeff who said we embark for
explore this new ocean
because there is new knowledge to
acquire today and even at
the time we knew the real
motivation that motivated me the urss and the
united states for to explore space
it was the strategic location of
this one the the need to own
sports was the desire of
superiority so it was the bait of the
gain that motivated these two nations in
war
although we disguise in this one for the
pass as a quest for
knowledge and progress as well
that the flag on the moon was
much more important than the extracts
of rock reported let’s imagine a little bit to
what will tomorrow look like if all that
we value the drop
what we would expect in rhetoric
of flag words is better than yours
there may be borders in
space
customs of free treaties
exchange and protectionism in
different which shots and he
news of the new religions
some back like the the jedi and
the other the spock captain and also
maybe some regions
recurring more spaced require a
larger territory because they
think they are too close to a
star and that the blind or well
because they are too close to a hole
black and sees nothing intel future for
the space where his exploration is
motivated by the lure of power gain
to profit from something just for
having or not through our
would be a copy of the field model
current space it’s a zone of
international cooperation our area
of overtaking human let’s keep it there as
this guy whose unique and independent
or geopolitical situation unfolding
on earth and then that’s what we do
already a future for the space where his
exploration is motivated by the
curiosity and already started today
pro bowl and the telescope the most
powerful ever built but in 2018
we will launch to join another
space telescope at the cutting edge of
technology
I need more big bowl finally
he will be the size of a tennis court
while a robot the size of a
about school bus and to have
on average 70% more light than ras
board with that we ‘ll be able to
see the first stars the
first galaxies in the cosmos if you
not only allow to see more
far in our universe than ever but
also earlier gilles play is
literally a traveling machine
in time since the light travels
at 300 thousand kilometers per second
the further we look the sooner we
see this will allow us to answer
to questions like the daughter of the
life elsewhere than on earth and for all
at almost $ 12 billion
but of course it is 1 on
the knowledge goods shop
yes but in terms of borrowing is this
that knowledge the consciousness the
technology inspiration and beauty
pure that can bring back the images of
James Webb can then much more
it can do a lot more good at
humanity compensates enough to watch
the images of his robot predecessor
me when I look at it useless of you
to say that it takes my breath away
how can we see such
things
all I see myself when I look
small bright spots but without
doubt that there is a wealth
incredible what we dig more
deeply
but it’s a garden and imagination and
of wisdom let me tell you the fact
that we have succeeded in financial
project to 12 billion dollars
knowing that the telescope will not even
not able to throw bombs
nuclear space and that the only
laser it is equipped sarah better
see that that’s what I call
progress by science finally and that’s
the case to say it
finally the images taken by the
telescope will be more important than the
flags to stick on this one and I
tell you it’s in a future for
space like the ones I live it is
in such a future that I see myself walking
on march
space is our common heritage
so his exploration should be done
for everyone
yes but why you go surmas me
said at home 2 to 4 years – your wife
is far from all the more I have some
glasses
if you do not even choose by going
on march or just fixed to these
as a long-term goal
I inspire young people to pursue a
career in science I contribute to
technology development never
thought before
but above all I contribute to
ensure the survival of the human species
if I had the land is threatened by a
asteroid for example what is very
probable, moreover, we must make sure
to be able to preserve life after all
is composed of the same material as
the universe we are even end of atoms
who was in the hearts of the stars and
millions of years your body you
is probably composed of atoms
from different stars
so are the cosmos in itself but the
cosmos able to reflect on
himself
I beg you village and go on march
we will keep this privilege
without culture astronauts I propose myself
so to be the guardian of
privileges tomorrow just as lots of
masks
his goal to him as mine is
much bigger than he himself
is nothing more than doing
humans an interplanetary species
until towards that guy they’re funding and
is developing a project to build a
colony on march and he even plans
ahead of NASA in the race for the
red planet
some think they do but
wait he’s capable of a lot of
things
founder of tesla spector the sex aspect
it’s a passionate he masks it if you
listen to me right now our that would be
volunteer boarded the former
broadcast to go on march
anytime except the week
next the two exams
but we fight for the same thing is in
fight for the same thing since
besides some times this dream
month residents since summer 2008
when I was eight years old went
at the space camp for the first time
since that time the man with flame
inner developed I try
to take concrete actions that will
allow me to realize my dream
finally I try to make my way to
my dream as pleasant as his
attack
it’s a 3 August one of the reasons
why am I here to talk to you about
that but think again I’m not
motivated by the chance to be that is
because I did a telex quebec and
well by all the opportunities there
knowledge and experiences that
my way can bring me as long as
future astronauts
I therefore propose to be the guardian
of true human nature to do
space had wonder place
for everyone to make him a
refuge for anyone who is less
alright I’ll try to make it on the
one of the newspapers
once again but above all I
will try to reveal the science and
and the cosmos pretty real admirers
via its actual profiteers ie
the community we are from
canvas dust says hubert reeves
so let’s try to stay awake and
making us aware that we
are we hydrogen atoms
background after 14 billion years
it’s fascinating thanks a lot to nasa
