Well since Mars One planned a colony on Mars by 2030 (and by then several other companies would follow such as the monopolies of Google, Microsoft, and Apple)

And since thanks to the stupid space treaty that no country can colonize according to the space treaty of 1967, in Article II, it states "outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means"

So basically only private companies can colonize realistically (but only under authorization).

Then again, it was a UN treaty, and the UN practically doesn't exist anymore (even tho we never officially disbanded it)

(Yes, I do research to be realistic)
