All the movies about space exploration and how the ship, property, crew, etc... are owned and operated by a company and it is the companies rules you live off of seems to be where we are headed. Look at movies like Alien.

The current argument is that countries cannot claim space but companies can get there and set up mining operations. In looking to the past to see our future do research on how mining in America worked in the early 1900s. The mining company was the town. You earned company credits which went to pay your company owned house and you bought food at the company store. The song that goes "And I sold my soul to the company store..." comes from this era. It is quite possible and likely that this is the future of space mining and exploration.
