Mad Mardigan Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 http://www.planetaryinvestments.com/ These guys take claim to the right to sale land plots on the moon and Mars. Now what exactly is the law on other planet land ownership? Should we be allowed to buy it? Many questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phi for All Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Hard to believe they'll register your claim for an acre with mineral rights, do all the certification AND give you a map with an actual X on it to mark your plot, all for only $29.95. It just seems too good to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5614 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 does anyone want to chip in when i buy out the rest of the milky way? oh come on.... what a joke! this is stupid..... what idiot thought that it would actually work, no one will listen, plus by the time we settle on the moon - if we ever do - then they'll be dead [probably] and the land will have been forgoten or deliberately ignored.

Been thinking of wintering there in the future. Got a spare room? Do you think anyone is likely to put these deeds in their will and tell their children about it so someone in the family strikes it rich... you know, whenever?

LucidDreamer Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Sounds like a great party gift. Another gift, which could score you big points with your significant other, is to name a star after them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucidDreamer Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 don't you have to discover a star to name it? It's just a novelty gift, not an official name. I imagine that the land on the moon thing is just a novelty gift as well and I can't imagine too many people taking it seriously. I don't think anyone has any more right to sell moon land than they have the right to sell you the atlantic ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ydoaPs Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 if it is a novelty gift, then why not use mswor or some crap like that and make a document stating that the owner of said document owns x amount of land on the moon? that would cost much less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet there is still some land on Mars you can sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caustic Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Correct me if i am wrong, but it has been my impression that to claim ownership of unowned land you must actually go there. Sounds to me like the United States of America must own the moon, being the only country to actually send people there. But appearantly the US doesnt own it because of a UN resolution that was created before '69 in which the US forfited all rights of ownership, probably in fear the the Soviets might get there first. Even so, I think the US still has some admisistrative or governing privliges over the moon. But the US did land there first, thats our flag on the surface, so i think the United States should own the entire moon. And we should paint a giant American flag on the surface! The chinese seem to think that they will send a man on the moon in the next decade, i wonder if they have permission, or it might be trespassing...

Well, the USA is a signatory of the Outer Space Treaty 1966, so tough luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
