Actually, we did ratify the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, just not the Moon Treaty.
The Outer Space Treaty was the equivalent of the original Antarctic Treaty -- no new territorial claims, no militarization, scientific cooperation.
The Moon Treaty was the equivalent of the equally unratified-by-the-U.S. Law of the Sea, which arranged for international-socialist bodies to coordnate exploitation of the resources of space and the sea, respectively.
