My unverified recollection is that under a UN Space Treaty, everything off
Earth is "the common heritage of all mankind" and, like Antarctica and
non-territorial ocean locations, unable to be owned by states or
individuals.

Of course, lots of things can change in 300 years...!

Always optimistically,
