Though even reaching the moon is possible only for huge and govt-owned technology giants like NASA, several private companies have been claiming to own the moon and have been selling moon real estate. Eg;
LunarRegistry.com
www.LunarLandOwner.com
www.MoonEstates.com

I believe Jimmy Stewart gave it to his on screen wife in the movie it's a wonderful life...
Lasso and everything.
I don't know who has it now?
All joking aside... I really hope that creepy Lance dude from Insync doesn't get it... I hear he has a strange fascination with it?
No one owns the moon silly! Not yet anyway!

"finders-keepers" attitude don't work in space.
Outer Space Treaty(signed by all major space powers),explicitly forbid any government from claiming a celestial resource such as the Moon or a planet since they are common heritage of humanity

No one yet. The first to get a base on the moon can probably claim it,

By a treaty (the name of which escapes me at the moment) no one country can lay claim to the moon.

Although the Americans planted their flag on the moon, they did it in the name of all mankind. The major countries signed a treaty to say that the moon does not belong to any one country but to all mankind.

Nobody. I guess you could say all of earth ownes the moon. But there is no official country that owns it.

I agree with the Indian natives outlook on this one. No one is the owner of anything. To truly own it you would have to be immortal. How can you own anything if your dead?
