Maritime laws generally use "reasonableness" as the criterion for how much benefit one nation may derive from the sea-a standard that will probably apply when the question arises of how big a slice of the moon the U.S. can claim for scientific use. Spacefaring nations may also turn to Antarctica for legal precedents. There, all states involved...
