Hi Martin,

Technically there are space treaty's that are already in place, though not everyone is signed up or ratified (as usual with treaty's!). So no nation has recognized rights of ownership over space. (Basically this is a massive cop out), and as far as i'm concerned whoever recovers the rock is the owner, so any volunteers to go to Mars and get it?!

To be honest we are a long way off ownership disputes on Mars, as we can't even agree over who owns the oil under the Arctic!!

Nearer on the horizon is just wait till they start Harvesting He3 from the Moon - that will probably cause some clashes!!

Uuuuuh,

Also that rock, which is without any doubts an iron meteorite,
causes an intellectual problem for me.

You know, some people/countries state that one essential property, a
immanent property of any meteorite, whether found or not, is, that it is a
c u l t u r a l heritage.

What shall we do now with this meteorite? If that legal definition is
correct, then it must be a cultural heritage.
But of whom?

And so far we have no evidence that once on that far planet Mars life had
exist, life at all, even not intelligent life, able to develop a culture.

So what shall we do with that lump? It's without doubts a meteorite.

Or is it in the end the counter-evidence, that the definition of meteorites
per se being cultural items, is wrong?

?????
Martin

Uh Mike,

will you beat me up,
when I say, that for me in such pictures the soil around is always more
fascinating, hence Mars itself instead of Campo on Mars?

Eeeeeeeeeeeek......

Martin
