"Who actually buys Land on the Moon?

The short answer is: EVERYONE. While the list of clients is confidential, we can reveal that approximately 250 very well known celebrities as well as two former US presidents are now extraterrestrial property owners. This *******s approximately 15 main actors from the original Star Trek series, as well as the Next Generation and Voyager series.

Many companies purchase lunar properties to give to their customers. Lovers buy them as gifts for their loved ones. Investors buy them for their children. School kids buy them for charity, resell them, and then give thousands of dollars to cancer research. (Yes, this happened recently.) The list of people who buy them is endless. Dentists, lawyers, nurses, space hobbyists, trekkers, doctors, taxi drivers, policemen and up to now, about 30 NASA employees. At the last count over 1,137,262 people are already proud owners of their extraterrestrial property, with properties on the Moon being the hot forerunner of course (because these are the only properties you can easily see from Earth).

Wow! I bought 5 acres for my father for his birthday. Boy was he surprised! He is an astrology nut. He really loves to look at the night sky with his telescopes. I believe it was the best gift I ever bought him! Thank you for allowing me to get him such a great birthday present!

Yeah but who the hell are they buying it from? Will we be able to sue when the big industrial corporations start mining our homesteads? Eh, it's probably all on the dark side anyway.

I remember there being some game about Mars, and every purchase either *******d a plot of land on the planet or the chance to win one - pretty much the same thing in the end.

Sounds like an email spam/triangle scheme to me. Too bad really.

I wasn't aware that one business had laid claim to an entire planet.

Aside from a possible neat factor of a certificate or whatever they send you, anything over 1 acre is excessive.

We should establish a Netphorian colony on another planet. That would complement our island rather well, methinks.

You know our country would have hostile foreign relations, though.

How much for the entire, useless rock? I want the whole thing. Paint it flourescent green and put a bow on it.

I hope there really is other life out there and that they think they're the ones who have laid claim to Mars. It's not even a matter of whether it's a scam or not. Even if it's real, it's still a fucking joke.

well apparently:

"The UN Outer Space Treaty of 1967 stipulated that no government could own extraterrestrial property. However, it neglected to mention individuals and corporations. Therefore, under laws dating back from early US settlers, it was possible to stake a claim for land, and register it with the US Government Office of claim registries."

i can imagine the founder of the company reading the treaty and running to the land registry office, "the whole fucking thing is mine!"


There is nothing more Symbolic and Romantic on Earth one can give to a loved one. When you buy Lunar Property, you can look into the night sky and say, “I own a piece of that”.

haha, there's nothing more romantic than greed.

So theoretically we could run to the office of claim registries and pick out any stars or planets that we want to own?

This kind of thing makes me really angry. Hell, it makes me angry enough that we presume to be able to buy and sell land here on earth.

We can start with a small laser on our one acre, and use it to take over other acres, then build a bigger laser, etc.

I do understand the "cool" factor at stake here, it just disturbs me that you guys aren't seeing that the "lame" factor and the "capitalist bonehead" factor vastly outweigh it.

We'll hit them with the laser first. Netphoria the country frowns on advancement.
