The topic of real estate on celestial objects has been present since the 1890s.
The United Nations sponsored 1967 "Outer Space Treaty" established all of outer space as an international commons by describing it as the "province of all mankind" and forbidding states from claiming territorial sovereignty.
The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 has currently been ratified by 102 countries, including all the major space-faring nations.
