could some billionaire just wake up one morning and decide that when he dies, he’s going to be buried on the moon?

Question

What are the laws actually guiding issues like this? Who actually owns space bodies? Is outer space actually a no man’s land?

Answer 1

There is the Outer Space Treaty saying no country can own the moon.
So the billionaire can, in theory, just get his own rocket built and hire people to fly up and bury his remains on the moon.
