Yes.
It might not make much difference until there were enough people on the Moon or wherever to have their own government. Since they would be dependent on the Earth for all of their initial resources, this might take a while. Meantime, you would certainly be on the front page of the WEEKLY WORLD NEWS as the FIRST ET BABY or somesuch thing. SO if there was no such autonomous moon colony government then yes, you would be a citizen of wherever your parents were from only due to the absence of a government in the place of your birth.

WOW, really Great Question.
Immigration departments around the world would be having heart attacks. People would be be listed as " Illegal Aliens". You would be stuck in airports the rest of your life ( reference to Tom Hanks in
his portrayal of a guy stuck ( by stupid laws ) in an AIRPORT ) ....
Non-terrrestrial classifications in the Pentagon, on the work stations at AREA 51, and at Washington would have to change.
The entire structure of "citizen" of any country ( which is now centered around place of birth ) would have to be re-written.
AND, what about MARS? For that matter, what about being born on a space shuttle? What if you take off in one country and land in another, and your dad is a citizen of one country and your mom is a citizen of another, and neither is the departure or arrival point?
I will watch this posting to see if other people have intelligent things to suggest -- it might at first sound like a joke, but your question is 25 to 50 years ahead of the day to day reality of the future.

Yes. Only because extra means "outside of" and terrestrial is a derivatyive of terra, meaning this planet we call earth. So if you were born on the moon you would have been born "outside of earth" so technically you may be considered an extra terrestrial but NOT an alien. ET phone home.....

What you are doesn't depend on where you were born. It depends, rather, on who your ancestors were.
An Englishman is not merely (or necessarily) someone born in England; he is someone whose ancestors were English, as were their ancestors before them. An American is not someone born in the United States; he is someone whose ancestors were White immigrants to North America from Europe.
Governments do not, and cannot, bestow nationality. They can merely award citizenship. Citizenship is a political thing. Nationality is a biological thing. Citizenship is defined by law. Nationality is defined by race.
The very word, "nationality," comes from the Latin root word "natal," from which also comes the word nativity. Natal means "pertaining to birth," and it refers to your bloodline, to your heredity, to your race. A nation is a group of people of common birth. Your nationality has nothing to do with which government claims your taxes. It has everything to do with which people has a familial claim upon your loyalty.
So, no, you'd still belong to the same nation (i.e., to the same race) to which your parents also belong, even if you were born on the moon.
Nationality and citizenship are often deliberately confused by governments that desire to supplant all natural loyalties with an artificial allegiance to their political authority. And, also, nationality and citizenship are sometimes deliberately confused by members of inferior races who desire "inclusion" with a superior race, so that they can get the good things that they would be unable to create if they were left entirely by themselves.

No. An extra-terrestrial would have to be another species that is not found on the Earth.

No. Since your parents are from earth, you won't be regarded as an extra-terrastrial.

No, we've seen your kind before (humans), so there's nothing extra about you.
But if you try to get into America, you'll be known as an illegal alien.
