Who owns the planets?

Go build a house there and see if anybody kicks you off. There's not much anybody can/will do to physically defend their "property", even though half a dozen governments and private corporations think they own them.
 
You own it if you're the first to stick a flag on it. This works even if there are indigenous peoples there if they never put up a flag.

So you were the son of a bitch that sniped me on Uranus! Bastard.

Yup. Damn, I think Uranus cost me the most. Huge bidding war on that one.

I didn't bother buying Pluto, because it's not a planet 😛
 
How can one own something that is older than everything?

Fine. I can compromise. We'll need to bring in someone that has moon sized solar mirrors so we can reflect some heat/light off Venus and redirect some of it back to Mars.

You so stole what I was going to say. Awesome Eddie Izzard reference.
 
Well, I'm not going to buy any of the planets. I'm going to spend my money on something practical, like a timeshare in an ice fishing shack.
