Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the late20th century, some American lawmakers began proposing legislation that would officially recognize the Moon as U.S. territory.. Their advocacy of this plan is generally part of a platform centered on the principle of American exceptionalism. However, such act would be a violation of international space law, namely the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, which was first proposed by the United States. The treaty prohibits the claim of any celestial body in the name of one country, among other acts. All expansionist rhetoric about adding the Moon to U.S. territory is therefore advocating an illegal act.
