who owns the moon at all

world probably we are of course

Article 11 of the Agreement governing

state activities on the moon and

other celestial bodies reads as follows

the moon can be the subject of any

national ownership by proclamation

sovereignty or by

of use or occupation or by

no other way so that’s it

no one can own the moon but

what it could be that this is a

little more complicated than that we know

that only seven countries have ratified

treaty

Austria Chile Chile Morocco Countries

down the peru the philippines and

the proud Uruguay, that means

that the 192 other nations of the

planet may have taken territory

on the moon as they see fit

probably not there is another

document named seven times processed and

United Nations principles relating to

outer space or in bed

clearly in Article 2 the space

Outer including the moon

and other celestial bodies can not

be the subject of national ownership

by proclamation of sovereignty or by

way of use or occupation

by no means the two extracts

this recent one will put in June one of

only difference is that the second

account 104 and lover the new star but

here we have the answer to our

question

nobody can appropriate a

territory on the moon wait a little

the moon can not be the subject of any

national ownership

what is it very sad says whatever

whether it concerns individuals not

let’s all run the moon but

indeed the two treaties are not

clear about the property

deprived of space which gives

inevitably the opportunity to

some people enjoy the

system

in 1953 a Chilean lawyer and poet did

touches me our guys at dover was getting

famous doing legally a

official proclamation claiming that he

owned the moon

of course nobody took it at

serious but the legend tells all

as well as the president of the states

united of the time

ritchen the excellent would have asked him

permission to land on the moon

in 1969

although I doubt the veracity of

this legend there is still

a moral issue

behind all that in my opinion there is

two main motivations that we

encourage us humans to explore the

first that we can call

qualify as more human and the

satisfaction that brings exploration

and discovery to our curiosity

in other words, it’s our curiosity

fear that drives us to learn

and discover no matter the others

circumstances

and then comes the second motivation

this one is a bit more universal it’s

to say that it does not just apply

to exploration

we are obviously talking about the lure of gain

of course it’s second motivation

is just as much human as the

first in the sense that she was

train sact to the character of the man and

of the woman but not necessarily

in the meaning

the adjective human has a connotation

similar to the adjective altruistic

let’s move now to 1962

a few years before the famous

giant for humanity

while president john f kennedy

uttered a few words that inspired

the whole america in his

famous speech announcing that

united states was undertaking a trip on

the moon

I quote the man in his quest for

knowledge and progress and

determined and nothing can prevent it

to advance

the exploration of space will make us

let’s embark to explore this new

ocean

because there is new knowledge to

acquire new rights to

to conquer

they must be conquered used for

the progress of all peoples would be

may be interesting to note

that while united states party

astronauts drop a plaque on

the moon signed by the president excels

in that same country bomb the south east

from Asia with over 7 million

tons of explosives as had it so well

said carlos eagle we congratulated ourselves

of our humanity

we were not going to hurt anyone

on a rock without life

but jeff who said we embark for

explore this new ocean

because there is new knowledge to

acquire today and even at

the time we knew the real

motivation that motivated me the urss and the

united states for to explore space

it was the strategic location of

this one the the need to own

sports was the desire of

superiority so it was the bait of the

gain that motivated these two nations in

war

although we disguise in this one for the

pass as a quest for

knowledge and progress as well

that the flag on the moon was

much more important than the extracts

of rock reported let’s imagine a little bit to

what will tomorrow look like if all that

we value the drop

what we would expect in rhetoric

of flag words is better than yours

there may be borders in

space

customs of free treaties

exchange and protectionism in

different which shots and he

news of the new religions

some back like the the jedi and

the other the spock captain and also

maybe some regions

recurring more spaced require a

larger territory because they

think they are too close to a

star and that the blind or well

because they are too close to a hole

black and sees nothing intel future for

the space where his exploration is

motivated by the lure of power gain

to profit from something just for

having or not through our

would be a copy of the field model

current space it’s a zone of

international cooperation our area

of overtaking human let’s keep it there as

this guy whose unique and independent

or geopolitical situation unfolding

on earth and then that’s what we do

already a future for the space where his

exploration is motivated by the

curiosity and already started today

pro bowl and the telescope the most

powerful ever built but in 2018

we will launch to join another

space telescope at the cutting edge of

technology

I need more big bowl finally

he will be the size of a tennis court

while a robot the size of a

about school bus and to have

on average 70% more light than ras

board with that we ‘ll be able to

see the first stars the

first galaxies in the cosmos if you

not only allow to see more

far in our universe than ever but

also earlier gilles play is

literally a traveling machine

in time since the light travels

at 300 thousand kilometers per second

the further we look the sooner we

see this will allow us to answer

to questions like the daughter of the

life elsewhere than on earth and for all

at almost $ 12 billion

but of course it is 1 on

the knowledge goods shop

yes but in terms of borrowing is this

that knowledge the consciousness the

technology inspiration and beauty

pure that can bring back the images of

James Webb can then much more

it can do a lot more good at

humanity compensates enough to watch

the images of his robot predecessor

me when I look at it useless of you

to say that it takes my breath away

how can we see such

things

all I see myself when I look

small bright spots but without

doubt that there is a wealth

incredible what we dig more

deeply

but it’s a garden and imagination and

of wisdom let me tell you the fact

that we have succeeded in financial

project to 12 billion dollars

knowing that the telescope will not even

not able to throw bombs

nuclear space and that the only

laser it is equipped sarah better

see that that’s what I call

progress by science finally and that’s

the case to say it

finally the images taken by the

telescope will be more important than the

flags to stick on this one and I

tell you it’s in a future for

space like the ones I live it is

in such a future that I see myself walking

on march

space is our common heritage

so his exploration should be done

for everyone

yes but why you go surmas me

said at home 2 to 4 years – your wife

is far from all the more I have some

glasses

if you do not even choose by going

on march or just fixed to these

as a long-term goal

I inspire young people to pursue a

career in science I contribute to

technology development never

thought before

but above all I contribute to

ensure the survival of the human species

if I had the land is threatened by a

asteroid for example what is very

probable, moreover, we must make sure

to be able to preserve life after all

is composed of the same material as

the universe we are even end of atoms

who was in the hearts of the stars and

millions of years your body you

is probably composed of atoms

from different stars

so are the cosmos in itself but the

cosmos able to reflect on

himself

I beg you village and go on march

we will keep this privilege

without culture astronauts I propose myself

so to be the guardian of

privileges tomorrow just as lots of

masks

his goal to him as mine is

much bigger than he himself

is nothing more than doing

humans an interplanetary species

until towards that guy they’re funding and

is developing a project to build a

colony on march and he even plans

ahead of NASA in the race for the

red planet

some think they do but

wait he’s capable of a lot of

things

founder of tesla spector the sex aspect

it’s a passionate he masks it if you

listen to me right now our that would be

volunteer boarded the former

broadcast to go on march

anytime except the week

next the two exams

but we fight for the same thing is in

fight for the same thing since

besides some times this dream

month residents since summer 2008

when I was eight years old went

at the space camp for the first time

since that time the man with flame

inner developed I try

to take concrete actions that will

allow me to realize my dream

finally I try to make my way to

my dream as pleasant as his

attack

it’s a 3 August one of the reasons

why am I here to talk to you about

that but think again I’m not

motivated by the chance to be that is

because I did a telex quebec and

well by all the opportunities there

knowledge and experiences that

my way can bring me as long as

future astronauts

I therefore propose to be the guardian

of true human nature to do

space had wonder place

for everyone to make him a

refuge for anyone who is less

alright I’ll try to make it on the

one of the newspapers

once again but above all I

will try to reveal the science and

and the cosmos pretty real admirers

via its actual profiteers ie

the community we are from

canvas dust says hubert reeves

so let’s try to stay awake and

making us aware that we

are we hydrogen atoms

background after 14 billion years

it’s fascinating thanks a lot to nasa

[Applause]
