I’m sure by now you’ve heard that you can have new stars named after you or a loved one, even those discovering new species sometimes offer up the chance to have the new species named after yourself (ie Stephen Colbert now has a spider named after him!), but did you know that you can buy the moon too? Well .. a piece of it, I mean.
Uh huh .. I probably should have left this story for my husband Chris to write about on Odd Planet since it is weird news – in my books any way.
A company called Lunar International is allowing people to order a personalized Lunar land claim for real moon property.
Here’s the description:
Millions of people have purchased their very own property on the moon, and now you can too. Lunar International, Earth’s recognized leader in lunar real estate, has designed an innovative plan to return mankind to the moon. Through our program, anybody who wishes to own land on the moon can do so by purchasing an officially authorized lunar land claim from our organization. Whether it be a gift for a loved one, a reward for a valued employee or simply a treat for yourself, property on the moon makes a unique and affordable gift that anyone can enjoy.
It would certainly make a great gift for the person who has everything!
I’m not sure why this is legal…cause how can they sell parts of the moon if they don’t own it (since no one does)…isn’t that some kind of racketeering or something?? or maybe it’s ok if people don’t take it seriously…
