because they eat them in a way that makes them taste good

[IkeTheGeneric]

I'm pretty sure there's only one way to eat food.

That's not what South Park said.

[Sheath]

But would it automatically be the government's? o:

No no, I didn't say that. I was addressing the ownership issue.

[Placid]

i'd sell it on ebay throw a loving party

[_Rave_]

The gov would probably just take it, on the grounds that they can do whatever the forget they want, apparently.

[Specever]

forget the powlease.

[Roknrollwill]

Did that happen to you 

[steve5451]

Happened to me once.
'Cept it was a rock.

[Night Fox]

That's not what South Park said.

[Bisjac]

no one really "owns" the land they own. the gov can take anything they want for little to no reason.

[Niliscro]

I mean, besides what bisjac just said, the spacecraft isn't yours, but it also isn't gov't property.  Technically, they can take it because it can be considered dangerous to national security.  The most they would do is pay you for it, but that would never happen.
