Answer 1

I had to look this up but I found an answer in Wikipedia’s depths:

>Although Luna landers scattered pennants of the Soviet Union on the Moon, and U.S. flags were symbolically planted at their landing sites by the Apollo astronauts, **no nation claims ownership of any part of the Moon’s surface.**[259] Russia, China, India, and the U.S. are party to the 1967 Outer Space Treaty,[260] which defines the Moon and all outer space as the “province of all mankind”.[259] This treaty also restricts the use of the Moon to peaceful purposes, explicitly banning military installations and weapons of mass destruction.[261]
