Who "Owns" Mars

Personally I dont have aproblem with governments laying claim to the other planets. If they can gwet there first, and claim, and protect their clain, then pair play to them.

Whats the alternative? Coca-Cola laying claim to Mars, re-naming it Coke world, covering it with advertising, and renting areas out for office space? How is that going to be any better?
 
Who knows perhaps the earth is already owned by some major galactic corporation which is just not interested in our pokey little backwater planet?

Nope, they lay claim to various areas but the treaty above stands I think. No-one owns antarctica and no-one (importantly) can claim mineral rights there, although if you look on a map you'll see it divided up between about seven or eight nations because they 'claim' it, or did before th treaty was around.

Quite interesting actually - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7e/Antarctica.jpg
