Kaor, Paul!

And that ban on the right to own land off Earth is absurd, nonsensical, and totally unworkable. Luna and Mars are worlds with lots of land! If people are going to live and work there, then means of how land is going to be owned and used will need to be found. And the most practical system is the private owning of land. E.g., as regulated by Anglo/American land and property law.

Ad astra! Sean

Kaor, Mr. Stirling!

IOW, nobody is looking after it and it''s totally useless as far as anybody BENEFITING from land on Luna and Mars.

Baffling, this nonsense about humans not owning land OFF Earth!

Ad astra! Sean
