"For the first time ever, a private company has permission to land on the moon.
The U.S. government has officially approved the planned 2017 robotic lunar landing of Florida-based Moon Express, which aims to fly commercial missions to Earth's nearest neighbor and help exploit its resources, company representatives announced today (Aug. 3).
"This is not only a milestone, but really a threshold for the entire commercial space industry," Moon Express co-founder and CEO Bob Richards told Space.com. "
This is good. However I do have one very important question.
Since when does a company NEED Government Permission to land on the moon? Or ANY planet, moon, asteroid, or anything like that?
What authority does the government have outside of the atmosphere of Earth directly above it's land area?
THAT is what I want to know.
