Well, we need serious leverage… so we have developed a smart land claim to Mars which should rip through all space law in a high profile international court. Sounds incredible but it is all true. We looked at what we had to do,  under International Law,  to claim new unregistered land like the land on Mars.   From research we saw that “Factual Possession” is the likely key,  and the proof for that varies according to the nature of the land.  For difficult distant land,  we dont have to go there and settle it.   We should just have to show a little governance,  ‘intent’ to occupy [we do] and early efforts to develop it. So that is what we have applied to Planet Mars land. Read on to find out how we’ve done it! It is the first time that anyone has gone down this route to possession of celestial land. Hopefully it will sting the UN into saving the space treaty. We might need to embarrass UN in international court.

Well, with Planet Mars possession in mind, we note that any plans for terraforming Planet Mars include the early need for atmospheric pressure generation.  A greenhouse effect is proposed, one that could be triggered by adding light/heat to the polar areas especially to liberate CO2 gas. Just a 3 degree increase would do it… then humans wouldnt need to wear pressure suits.  So, we have been showering the land on Mars with powerful laser light [we use a 3.5W blue and 100mW red lasers mainly] for 6 years.  The heat/light WILL have a small {non-zero} beneficial effect on Planet Mars land and atmosphere through CO2 release. Any primitive photosynthetic life will also benefit..  Such intervention is very in keeping with a claim of factual possession.  The other cool thing about our laser use [as long as we stay safe and legal on Earth] is that it absolutely does not get blocked by any existing Space Law.

OK, through our use of lasers to add light/heat to the land on Mars we have gone some way to prove possession.  We have also stated our claim to Planet Mars land many times by laser-morse-code, Spacespeak [radio messages] and Twitter [@ I Claim Mars].  With respect to governance, we have planned for the formation of a territory trust [The Mars Trust], should our claim to land on Mars prove successful.  Now we just need to bring more people into our communal land claim [more people = more influence].  People who join us get the strongest ever claim to land on Mars!… and they get that either for FREE or for a really TINY price! We then go to the UN with our Mars land claim and supporting evidence.  If successfull, we will gain title to the Planet Mars land, held in trust with UN as Trustee.  UN can then buy the shares from us at a very preferential rate, provided it has got that new UN Treaty ratified and has agreed to go forward with UN Trusteeship.

We prove possession of Planet Mars with a sizeable number of Mars Land Claimants who have joined us through this website.  We get title registration to the land on Mars, which is immediately held in Trust with UN as trustee.  The UN quickly effects a new Space Treaty and assumes trusteeship of our solar system.  Hence space mining companies can get their contracts signed by UN and so raise the funds they need.  All actual land on Mars is still protected under UN trusteeship.  Peace in space is more secure and collaborative space ventures flourish.  The UN then pays a nominal fee to our Mars Land Claimants for their land shares [only $1000 each if paid by 10 Oct 2017, but doubles annually after that!].  So, the UN gets a great deal [if it acts early], our Mars land claimants get a very good dollar reward and Humanity get celestial safety!… and we do better than break even.
