Blue Space Corporation launches exploratory space flights to the moon and Mars. The purpose is to discover and retrieve minerals and other resources. Under U.S. Law, Blue Space a. must share with all interested parties what it retrieves in space. b. cannot profit from resources retrieved in space. c. cannot legally retrieve resources in space. d. owns what it retrieves in space.

This explains the right of an american that entails that anybody that retrieves minerals or other useful resources own or has control over what it retrieves in space.

Americans however should have the right to engage in commercial exploration, recovery, and use of resources in outer space, consistent with applicable law. Outer space is a legally and physically unique domain of human activity, and the United States does not view it as a global commons. Accordingly, it shall be the policy of the United States to encourage international support for the public and private recovery and use of resources in outer space, consistent with applicable law.
