Personally, I think they're a bit optimistic. Space law as it stands now is based on nothing but a load of nations without practical space travel indulging in a bit of posturing about places that they couldn't exploit anyway. The moment someone invents a truly practical rocket engine and finds something really valuable on the Moon that returns a profit on the cost of bringing it back to Earth (and I don't mean water), prepare to watch that 1967 treaty take on all the relevancy of a paper-mâché welcome mat.
