The space treaty, was a hedge by botht h us and the USSR. the laying came to territory, was sometthing the soviets wanted because of possibilty The US would beat them to it. (even you as a private citizen can't claim anything)
US was more for the no nukes in Space, sadly that didn't included scaled neclear eators of which the sovits put several in space, one even crashed in Canada. I'm not talking about the puny radio istope Generators, but real, small scale reactors.
