US and Russia sign pact to hunt for water on Mars
« on: October 03, 2007, 04:38:12 PM »
...so  I'm envisioning two little robotic arms, and one of the little robotic arms is sent a signal from earth, in particular Russia, to pull a little Russkie flag from a hidden storage area on the vehicle and plant it on the Red Planet, thus proclaiming it Russian territory.

Anyone want to bet?

Next is a pact to find water under the Arctic ice cap.  Along with Canada, Denmark, and Norway.

Stang, you are the best :aok

Really, all space research programs are regulated with special agreements. And one of them is about impossibility of declaring anybodys property on space objects.
