Is the law in space justified only by means at this point?

Question

Surely we can imagine territorial disputes, but over important resources or places of strategic import as multiple countries develop space programs-

-the moon
-the 5 Lagrange points sun-earth
-the 5 Lagrange points moon-earth
-other bodies with resources
including:

| orbit state
| mass
| minerals (ice/gold/uranium)

So is their a governing body?
Is there space law?

These places would largely be held by robotic objects rather than persons.

Answer 1

access to space is limited. Governing means control for implementation, since few can access hardly anyone is capable of governing the space.

Answer 2

As a mater of fact, theres a guy who's laid a legal claim to ownership of all orbiting bodies that are not of earth- and its been held up, legally in the courts

Answer 3

So far, America has given up territorial rights to the moon, so I'm guessing that the UN has jurisdiction.

Answer 4

There is space law, but it is not all that developed yet. Space travel is still too new.

Answer 5

no law, sorry. first come, first served. but then again, first come might get nuked by second come who may or may not have bigger guns. so it's survival of the fittest i guess.
