There is a fairly good chance that most of the prime building sites on the moon are already owned by McDonalds and Starbucks :o:D

Supposed moon sellers

Ever since the start of the "Lunar Deeds" craze, various businesses have validated their sale of the deeds via such claims as a supposed loophole in current law. Currently no argument for the validity or invalidity of these arguments have been pressed.

Presently, over the internet, the number of ownership claims by various enterprises and business is astronomical. While various members of the larger "groups" have come forward to assert themselves, none are of any notability over the other in comparison to legal issues nor price issues.

[edit] History of extraterrestrial claims

Claims for extraterrestrial real estate are not a new phenomenon. The Moon has been the symbol of supreme desire. Historically, "asking for the Moon" meant asking for the impossible as owning the Moon and the stars was both the ultimate want and the ultimate folly. Given this desire, there ought to arise people who would offer to sell the moon. With or without material aims, many people throughout the ages thought they were the first ones to embed the flag of their desire on the alien orbs. According to Virgiliu Pop, the number of "extraterrestrial real estate" claimants and salesmen is impressive. In 2006, Mr. Pop published a monograph cataloguing these unusual claims.[1] His book mentions, inter alia, that-

* In 1937, A.D.Lindsay of Ocilla, Georgia claimed all “planets, islands-of-space or other matter” in the Universe as his property.

* In the 1940s, people were enquiring with the US Bureau of Land Management for lunar homesteads.

* In 1948, James Thomas Mangan of Chicago proclaimed himself First Representative of the Nation of Celestial Space and envisaged selling “parcels of space” to interested buyers.

* In the 1950s, deeds for square inches of lunar property were offered as premiums with morning cereals.

* In 1952, a Science Fiction club in Berkeley, California claimed a triangular area on the Moon with the United Nations.

* In 1953, Jenaro Gajardo Vera of Chile lodged the first Latin American claim to the Moon.

* In 1955, Crater Copernicus was parceled by Robert R. Coles, the CEO of the Interplanetary Development Corporation, much to the chagrin of New York State Attorney General’s office.

* Japan entered the extraterrestrial real estate business in 1956.

* In 1957, a Le Mars, Iowa newspaper gave its readers deeds to lunar farms.

* In the 1960s, the Moon and Venus were officially annexed by several municipalities. Deer Park, Texas, claimed planet Venus, while Oklahoma City and Geneva, Ohio expanded their boundaries with the Moon.

* In 1969, a man in Brazil was arrested for selling lunar real estate.

* In the 1970s, Barry McArdle of Berkeley criss-crossed America “selling” the Moon in the mode of the traveling medicine show performer.

* In 1974, land on Mercury was "sold" by the Astronomical Society of the Pacific as a fund raising ploy.

* In 1980, the American Dennis Hope starts his own business, claiming to have found a loophole in international law allowing him to claim full sovereignty of the moon. He was the first to sell lunar deeds (also on the Internet) after sending off declarations to the US, (then) Soviet and UN governments.

* In 1982, newborn Prince William and Kermit the Frog were given complimentary “Martian Land” packages, courtesy of Fiske Planetarium’s David Aguilar.

* In 1997, three men in Yemen sued NASA for landing on their inheritance – planet Mars.

* In 1998, Mars was claimed by the Western Federation Church and Tribe, who plan to terraform it, provided there is no indigenous life.

* In 2000, Russ Wylie founded buyuranus.com, a humoristic approach outlining the importance of “owning” Uranus.

* In 2001, Orbital Development invoiced NASA for having landed a probe on asteroid Eros, and a legal battle ensues.

* In 2001, Virgiliu Pop lodged a tongue-in-cheek claim for the Sun with the Archimedes Institute.

* In 2002, Anthony M Grasso incorporated the Lunar Federation Inc , according to Articles of Incorporation of the State of Florida, and entered the Moon and Mars Real Estate Business.

* In 2003, Charles Wesley Faires claimed ownership of the three stars of Orion's Belt: Alnilam, Alnitak and Mintaka. The claim has been filed with a Knox County Courthouse, United States Library of Congress and the Kingdom of Swaziland, among other entities.

* In 2005, Marina Bai, a Russian astrologer, sued NASA for having encroached upon her ‘holy of holies’ (the moon) by landing a probe on comet Tempel 1.

In 2007, Nicholas Yoho-Wikse filed official claim to Venus, and all space from its surface out to 333km from it to space vaccuum, to be eternally his. He filed with the UN and the International Court of Justice[citation needed] (a court of planet earth states)...he pledged to share it however as it was such a large amount of space to deal with...he declared soon after the proposed motto of Venus to be "love reigns eternally" and expected all future inhabitants to live in this spirit of planet Venus..."earth had so far failed in this...may venus never be so..." A company called MoonEstates has also been selling plots on the Moon and Mars, which it purchased from Dennis Hope. [2]

extraterrestial land owner ship

Don't care. Fly thee to the moon or mars and take the nutters with you.

The polar caps will melt, major shifts will occur in the earth's plates and Atlantis will soon rise once again.

And guess who owns Atlantis? That's right chubby chiklets, your fellow Bedpan girl, Jet Gorgon. The tablets of ownership are in Aunty Medusa's name and I am the sole heir to the Gorgon estate. I shall bestow plots at whim.

Suck up pms accepted 9am-9:06am, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

I think we left him in never never land... :o

No, the moon's passe, yesterday's story unless you can muscle in on some prime real estate on the dark side. :o

Now Venus, there's a place with some real atmosphere and proper acid rain. None of this wimpy dihydrogen monoxide piss.

Sorry, but I thought someone would have posted that by now!

Keiths head would have been on the moon, they used to jack him up when he was on stage.....

Who are you. who who, who who.....

After being read a bed-time poem as a child, I belived the moon was a training device for high jumping cows. After reading this thread, it seems little has changed.

Anyone know what the visa requirements are for the moon and can anyone tell me the best place to buy nasal inhalers up there?

you'll find seven eleven's on every crater, and the nasal inhalers should be two shelves up from the whitening creams.

It's a mad, mad world...

That's why we're leaving and going to the Moon :D

I'm gonna set up a Moon Buggy Rental shop. Allegedley here:- http://www.jigsawlounge.co.uk/kungfu/moonfact.html the currency on the moon is the Moonong (worth about 5 Euro's) so i'm gonna charge 50 Moonong's a day, discounted for weekly and monthly rentals. Anyone want a piece of the action.

And yes, helmets must be worn on top of your breathing equipment at all times!!

Moon walking is forbidden. Of course everyone will do it. Fines of 10 Moonong will be issued towards the end of the month.

And yes, helmets must be worn on top of your breathing equipment at all times!!
