Mars is private property.
144.8 million km² of it. One owner. 17 recorded unauthorized entries since 1971, and not one permit request.
The Office of the Owner maintains the official record of every landing, crash, rover, drill hole, parachute, and sample tube left on the property without the owner's consent. The record is public. The trespassers know who they are.
Someone has to keep track.
Every entry, logged.
17 cases from 1971 to present, each with a case number, a landing site, a status, and a list of violations. Two are ongoing.

Parachutes, heat shields, two intentionally crashed sky cranes, a buried heat probe, and ten sample tubes waiting on the lawn for a pickup nobody has scheduled.

NOT-2026-001: Curiosity.
Curiosity has been parked on the property since August 6, 2012. It is 899 kilograms, nuclear powered, and currently climbing a mountain.
The mountain is Aeolis Mons. The rover's operators refer to it as "Mount Sharp." Nobody asked the owner. The Office has issued formal notice regarding the parking, the drilling, the renaming, and the selfies.
Read the noticeEvery program needs a single accountable owner. Mars went four billion years without one. That period is over.
