To my knowledge (which isn't much) no one owns space or the moon so If money was no object and you built a rocket a went to the moon built and station there a bit like the space station apart from its fixed to the moon could you live there? No one could stop you could they? Obviously you need a lot of money to do this. Don't you think it would be good? |

It's an odd one...
NASA states:
"According to the United Nations Outer Space Treaty, signed by every space-faring country, no nation can claim sovereignty over Earth's lunar satellite.
102 countries have entered into to the 1967 accord; China joined in 1983. But space law scholars debate whether the Treaty actually implicitly prohibits, or allows, private ownership on celestial bodies.
Some commercial companies, such as Bigelow Aerospace, are hoping to use the ambiguity of the treaty's language to their advantage.
Founded in 1999 and based in Las Vegas, the firm aims to manufacture inflatable space habitats.
It already has an agreement with NASA to expand the International Space Station in 2015 using its flexible modules, and also to devise a plan for a privately developed, NASA financed, lunar base architecture." |

But...
A guy called Dennis Hope, an American entrepreneur, sells extraterrestrial real estate.
In 1980, he started his own business, the Lunar Embassy Commission.
As of 2009 Hope claimed to have sold 2.5M 1-acre plots on the Moon, for around US$20 per acre.

And also interestingly you own the air above you house...
"Air rights are a type of development right in real estate, referring to the empty space above a property. Generally speaking, owning or renting land or a building gives one the right to use and develop the air rights.
This legal concept is encoded in the Latin phrase Cuius est solum, eius est usque ad caelum et ad inferos ("For whoever owns the soil, it is theirs up to Heaven and down to Hell.")"

Although the practicalities of enforcing this are complicated...
