(Guy Cramer) Dr. Resnick (former NASA scientist and current consultant to NASA) states “Space law does not allow countries to have land ownership on planets and moons in the solar system but it does allow for the Mineral Rights to be obtained by individuals and companies.” The countries party to the Space Treat Act have agreed that none of them has neither jurisdiction nor ownership of any extraterrestrial body, nor samples.” Dr. Resnick found the loophole in Space Law 25 years ago that allowed him ownership of all planetary bodies outside the “Third Planet from the Sun”… submitted this to the World Court at the Hague, and to the United Nations in New York City. In 25+ years no one has ever disputed Dr. Resnick’s claimed ownership.
Dr. Resnick was structuring the Universal Mineral Leases Registry (UMLR) when his partner, Guy Cramer, had read the article on the Mars parks proposal by a group of predominant scientists and discussed the ability with Dr. Resnick and Dr. O’Neill to implement the idea into reality through the UMLR. The ROC team agreed and decided to obtain the mineral rights to these regions, to set them aside as protected areas, prior to the public launch of the UMLR.
The North American team, issued this statement “We support the effort to protect these Martian areas and by virtue of ‘owership’ via the Universal Mineral Leases Registry (UMLR), we are designating the areas as “preserves”. This effort constitutes the first-of-a-kind “Extraterrestrial Nature Preserve” established by human beings and sanctioned by the owners of the mineral rights located in the Mars regions. Furthermore we have obtained the mineral rights for a large Lunar area surrounding the Apollo 11 landing site and designated this area as a “World Heritage Site” which will allow our future space fairing decedents the opportunity to see this site as it remains on the timeless lunar soil of our first astronauts landing on another celestial body”.
ROC has secured the mineral rights to the following sites on Mars; the first 8 regions are designated parks.
