If we can put a flag there before them, the place is ours!
Note the flag actually waves up there also.
The legal hypothesis is interesting... if just getting a flag there
first gives you ownership, then Russia owns the Moon, Venus, and Mars,
the US owns Jupiter, a asteroid, and a comet, the Japanese also own a
asteroid, and the Europeans own Titan.
The big question is...who is going to own Uranus?
Given the choice, I think it's time to make sure the US owns that also.
First, we need a probe that will carry a flag deep into Uranus' gassy
interior.... we don't want Uranus to be Red! ;-)

Since China is most likely taking control of the moon's L1, how
exactly are we ever going to sneek around that little do-everything
and see-everything consideration?
What if China places those initial 100 MW class of SBLs onboard their
moon L1 platform?
