Merely existing you does not entitle you to anything, let alone all of space.
Nothing is free. Everything that is considered free on the part of the receiver, was given at some cost the other party or parties, voluntarily or otherwise. Economies that run entirely on gifts, communal ownership, or stolen property, will provide anything far from "the best things in life". They will always suffer either the tragedy of the commons or the economic calculation problem. If everyone owned the moon, the only reason we can assume it wouldn't become as trashed as our oceans, is that a socialist economy might not even get humans there.
I kept hearing this song on a Walmart commercial, and it's been bugging me ever since.
