Depends if china can make it there. I dont think any country can controll the moon. The moon will end up being indepent of it self, just like the americas are today.

The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 prohibits any country from making a claim to or militarizing any part of the Moon. It was signed and ratified by nearly every country in the world.
On top of this, any evidence of the Moon's usability for human purposes outside research would come from the scientific community, where there exists a strong devotion to international cooperation and a feeling that discoveries should benefit all humanity.
So, no, there won't ever be a war fought over control of the Moon.

It seems unlikely, it's 1/6 the size of the earth, so it's pretty damn big, and even if 1/2 of it is unusable due to being on the dark side you've still not got any space issues arising from oceans etc. Perhaps in the VERY distant future, but it seems really unlikely now. There's plenty of moon for everyone to do what they want with it. What is more likely is that the moon will be divided up between the different world space agencies in a similar way that other uninhabited areas were, like antarctica. People have been fooling around on antarctica for 100 years, and space isn't an issue there either, and antarctica has lots of resources - unlike the moon, even if they are hard to get to.

As America is the only country to send a representative there so far (that we know of), wouldn't that mean it's the 51st state? Actually, check out http://www.buy-moon-property.com/
Also, someone below me has commented that it's only half usable because of the dark side (Actually, this is called the Far Side). The reason it's called the far side, is because it never shows that side to the Earth. The ENTIRE moons surface gets day and night. Daylight on any one spot can last for about 13 1/2 earth days.

Sorry people no one is allowed to own the moon. All countries agreed at the UN that the moon was neutral territory and is to be treated like Antarctica is today to be studied not exploited.

hahah It sounds so fictional but I think maybe one day in the future there will be. I mean it seems like the most strategic place to control earth from.

No because it will never be strategically important. It has no resources. And, as for it's value as a satelite, our man-made satelites are far more useful as they can be controlled at will.

He did no longer actual combat. remember, he held his hands up and the hebrews might win, whilst they began occurring they have been dropping. So then Moses had the two people protecting up his hands...

Already fought, already lost. The Greys kicked us off back around 1977. That's why we won't be back at least until we have technology equivalent to theirs.
