No, space doesn't belong to the USA.  The whole deal was that if
someone extended their airspace into outer space, they could claim the
universe as the earth rotated. I think we should have nations being
allowed to claim pieces of planets but they have to get their first
and then there is a length of time that they are allowed to claim it,
and, the size of the claim must be governed by some degree of common
sense.  Like, a nation could claim an asteroid but not an entire
planet.
