2) On the basis of the precedent established by Joseph Resnick, Timothy R. O'Neill, and Guy Cramer in claiming ownership of and the right to convey mineral rights on the Moon and Mars, I assert ownership of and the right to convey mineral rights on the planets specified infra.

3) On the basis of the precedent established by Virgiliu Pop in claiming ownership of the Sun, I assert ownership of the central stars of the planets specified infra.
