in 1969 when we were the first humans to ever go there. Or did Jimmie Carter give it away in the late 70s?

I don't know that we ever did own it, but there are plans. Check out this article in Popular Science:

the 1st nationwide logo on the Moon became into that of the Soviet Union. It became into positioned on the Moon some years in the past the U. S. flag became into planted there. regardless of the undeniable fact that, the U. S. flag became into the 1st one (and only one) planted there by ability of human beings. the u . s . have signed a treaty pointing out that no united states of america will declare possession of the Moon. regardless of the undeniable fact that, no longer all international places have signed it (yet) -- that's moot, till somebody else truthfully has the flexibility to bypass to the Moon. some human beings understand that, in some destiny (close or distant), somebody will prefer to make the main the Moon, and this exploitation will contain visits (and pilfering) of the 1st touchdown websites; as a result the U. S. needs the Apollo touchdown websites to take delivery of an identical status as a nationwide Park, so as that no guy or woman would bypass there and pilfer the relics. all of us know that the likely source of subject would be an American Capitalist wishing to make a rapid billion from planting a hotel with entertainment park on the Apollo 11 touchdown website.

The U.S does not own the moon, neither does any other country. Yes we were the first people up there but the first person who set foot on Antartica didn't suddenly own it either. Our flag is there just as a symbol of sorts I guess...

The USA never owned the moon... Neil Armstrong never declared "I declare the moon in the name of the USA". All that was declared was " that's one small step for man, one giant leap for all man kind"! Though it's been reported that he said "one giant leap for man kind", he has always maintained he did say the word "all", NASA audio feed just didn't pick it up.
So the moon belongs to everyone on the planet... & I dare say other aliens might correct that statement & say it belongs to NO ONE since no one lives there.

Well, Burbank is part of California, so technically the US owns the "moon." Im just kidding, hope you got the joke, but I dont think the US OWNS the moon, or at least not on any certificate or document.

The US never owned the moon! They were first to land there but it is not owned by them. I am not sure they have stated ownership in space

No we don't own it. There are actually treaties regarding that stuff. Just like Antartica, no one owns the moon, or space either.

You mean like he gave away the Panama Canal that the US built? Yes, I would say the US owns it as we were the first and last on the moon. Mars is next!

By treaty, no one ones the moon, but Columbia states that the atmosphere up to 23,000 miles above their country is theirs, and they have the right to defend it. Interesting?
