Because the world governments messed up on some treaties, nations cannot buy real estate in outer space but individuals can!! You Can Now Own Land On The Moon! One acre is only $29.99!!


LunarLandRush.com says:
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 is possible to stake a claim for land that has been surveyed and register it with the US Government Office of claim registries. In 1980, that is exactly what Dennis Hope did for land on the Moon and he established the Lunar Embassy to parcel and sell documented acres. The Lunar Embassy was obliged to inform the General Assembly of the United Nations, the US Government, and the Russian Government in writing of the claim and legal intent to sell extraterrestrial properties. These governing bodies had several years in which to contest the claim and they never did. The enabled Mr. Hope to take the next step and copyright his work with the US Copyright registry office and begin selling actual deeds for the land on the Moon.

i always thought that nasa owned the moon...i guess i was wrong.

malibu malibuOG 2001

if nasa owned it, wouldn't that mean that the usa owned it? imagine have a war over the moon? then the cheese companies would get involved.

togatweeter togatweeterOG 2003

gee, i hope they have some beaches up there

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

what a scam. i'm gonna start selling land on mars.

ekulu ekuluOG 2002

let's all buy some together and have an ezabel moon estate

malibu malibuOG 2001

i particularly love the closing statement: The Moon is a symbol of hope, romance, achievement, wonder, and mysticism. There is nothing more symbolic and romantic on Earth one can give to a loved one. When you buy property on the Moon, please enjoy it, because that is what this really is all about. You can look into the night sky and say, "I own a piece of that"!

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

i thought that's what the star-selling people claim.

malibu malibuOG 2001

oh it is what they claim, i just found it funny that i had to restate it.

ya i bought some yesterday.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

this guy was on conan once.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

yeah, i saw him on conan too. i think he is a hustler! i bet IF earthlings wished to populate the moon that moon land buyers would quickly realize their certificates mean squat! thats why an acre is so cheap. so, people or whomever the acre gets passed on to won't get too bent out of shape when it's snatched. theres probably a subclause somewhere that will disallow you ACTUAL ownership of said land. and down the road--if this is actually legit...starbucks or ikea or some other gigantic business will make you an offer you can't refuse and you'll disallow yourself of it's ownership!

malibu malibuOG 2001

ah but did you read the agreements? no big business is supposed to be able to own it.

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

so ur saying u read the EULA?

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

does anybody know if the price is different for the dark side of the moon?

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

ba-dum da...*choosh* dont forget to tip ur waitresses!

bozo bozoFounder

I don't know guys. I think its a pretty cool thing. If its a scam it will only cost you $30, it could be worse. And who knows, maybe that will be really worth something some day, when people colonize. Or what if, more reasonably, you buy an acre, after so me time, they run out of acres, people are going nuts to buy them for like thousands of dollars... you could make some cash. I wouldn't be suprised either, b/c remember "tickle me elmo", or "the beenie baby craze," just the fact that people will buy elvi s' ol d underwear. They don't know if they are really his. Honestly Now. ^

malibu malibuOG 2001

what is that from? i seem to remember that mind-numbing tune.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 malibu

The mocking version is from Austin Powers 2. Doctor Evil sings it. The original song was from that nasty girl who was a one hit wonder around the same time that Alanis Morsett was popular (not like Alanis Morsett isn't still popular..she is the man)

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder thatdarngirl

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 rocksupastar

yeah see i wanted to say something to that, but really what can you say. "yeah i like fat, ugly, alien mobsters too?"

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002 malibu

you left out stinky

malibu malibuOG 2001 ok4now

that would imply that i was there. were you?

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002 malibu

what! u think leia turned her head cuz his breath smelled like beautiful flowers?

malibu malibuOG 2001 ok4now

no it was because she was looking for luke so that he could come and see his beautiful dentistry work

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002 malibu

ok, u caught me...i was there.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 malibu

I heard this thing on Mtv the other day about what a sick pervert Lucas is. Follow this. He has leia kiss luke in the first movie. And he's all like 'man i want her.' He claims he already had all the movies planned out..so why then does he have them find out their siblings in the third movie? Incest all the way.

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002 thatdarngirl

wait a minute...did they really kiss in the first one? wasn't it more like a peck on the cheek?

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 ok4now

Yeah, it was just a kiss on the cheek. BUT if they weren't in such dire circumstances at the moment maybe it could have been more. AND DUH! I just remembered that in Empire Strikes Back she kisses him full on the lips to make Han jealous.

malibu malibuOG 2001 thatdarngirl

hahahah, you were watching i love the 80's weren't ya?

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002 malibu

Yes I was..it was cracking me up! One guy was so upset about the incest.

malibu malibuOG 2001 thatdarngirl
