I also was thinking, what claim does California have to any of this?
Totally bizarre.
But, as for doing something to claim and protect the site, I think it absolutely is a good idea. It may be a long time before the sites are actually in any danger from human vandals or tourists, but my concern isn't a practical one. Rather, from a historical/cultural point of view, it's something worth acknowledging and putting down on the list. Outside of the fact that the moon landing site (flag, footprints, etc) are not on this world, thus perhaps making it ineligible to be a "World" Heritage Site, I think UNESCO seems the perfect organization to add this to their list. No need to claim any US or other national sovereignty (or California state sovereignty - shame on you, CA.).
