Okay, you might be surprised that this was already decided. There is what they call an Outer Space Treaty of 1967. And you'd have to, you know, read the incidentals about that. But basically, it says that nobody can declare ownership of say, you know, we landed on the moon, we can't declare ownership. We landed on Mars the same way. And say, you know, there was a law that was broken that would have, you know, caused somebody to get in trouble where there'd be a punishment or whatever, be charged with a crime or something like that. That's already been decided too, by the international government agreement for the International Space Station. And it'll extend to that also where the jurisdiction would fall under the, whoever, the person's, if there were a national for a country. And the equipment. So I guess they're, you know, looking, they were looking pretty far ahead there. I know that there's maritime law, which doesn't, wouldn't apply because that's for the oceans. And then there's aviation law. You know, you own your property and also you have certain rights above you all the way to the, into the atmosphere, not a lot of rights it turns out, because I know somebody was suing under that because planes were flying overhead because they changed the way airplanes were landing and he sued under that. So I, let's see, also, years ago I heard that the first amateur radio contact between Earth and Mars, there was a trophy that I read about that was being held at the ARRL. And I tried to find out a little bit about it and it may be that it was so long ago they probably forgot about it and it got packed up and it's in a warehouse somewhere. So apparently there was something like that, I do distinctly remember. They probably figured, you know, well we don't want to keep this out, it's just being away for too long. That's what I had for the, that's what my call around here Josh back to you Ron AA-4HL, Miramar 4.
