serious question, who owns the moon?
In a diplomatic sense, what advantages does the fact that america was there first do?

>who owns the moon
By international treaty nobody.
Do bother to fucking google before you post. Read the fucking sticky.
States aren't allowed to own the moon. People claim they own the moon but those claims aren't recognized by anyone (but themselves).

The owner of any piece of land is whoever has the means and motivation to hold it. Right now, the answer is "nobody" because nobody has the means to maintain a presence on the moon nor does anybody have the motivation to try.
Who owns antarctica?

While there are claims, none of them are universally recognised, and a number of supranational agreements mean that sovereignty isn't a concept applicable to antarctica.

kek you can mine up he same article from 2005 saying Russia will have moonbase by 2015.
Russia lacks many of the necessary tech and expertise to accomplish such a thing in the hear future.
