Who Owns the Moon?

What's wrong with this opening sentence?

The first private Moon landing has finally been given the green light by the US Government.

Yeah, maybe we were the first only country to get to the Moon, but who the hell gave us the right to play gatekeeper?

Actually, this reminds me a bit of my first year in law school, where one of the property professors - not mine - gave atake home exam with a single question: "Who owns the Moon?" I never learned the "correct" answer.
