Buy the moon? WTF?!!

[fightingthecage]

OMG! Is this nuts or what?!

Acre of Moon

Own an acre of the moon? OK, groovy. Except - well, its not like you can go take a vacation there. And who the hell owns the moon anyway? Has no one ever asked whether the USA/Russia have the right to be randomly selling parts of it off?

Soooo - I wonder what'll happen when we get round to colonizing it. Maybe I should buy an acre of it (it's pretty damn cheap) - if the deed gets passed down through enough generations, it might be worth millions by the time some corporation wants to start building spaceports etc on it...

Wow, that is just the most random thing I've read today. The ways people come up with to make money...weird. *shakes head*

Heh. We almost should buy an acre. Have our descendants put up a shrine or something when the moon finally is colonized.

My hubby has arranged to put my name on a comet--it's on the Deep Impact probe that's supposed to crash into the comet on July 1. So if the comet changes course and comes crashing into the earth--blame him. :-)

LOL! Yeah a shrine would be cool. But I wouldn't blame them for selling it to Spaceports Inc. to make a bucketload of cash, its probably the only thing I'll be able to leave my descendants (should I ever produce any, which is unlikely).

Awww - how sweet of your hubby! But heh, I won't be saying that if said coment randomly lands on my head next month, oh no.

Well, won't be saying much of anything at all I guess... 0_0

rofl yeah maybe ya could get rich in like 200 years ;). but this whole acre of moon things has been around for quite awhile now, guess the best places are outta stock by now, muahahhaaaaa

[fightingthecage.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sure its been around for ages. First time I've come across it though - hee, I might just have to buy a plot! My great-great-great-great grandkids will appreciate it! :D

[peruvianflavor.livejournal.com]

lol yeah, but ya know what? ya'd rather buy a piece of fucking Mars, mucho cooolero

[fightingthecage.livejournal.com]

Heh, Mars also kicks serious ass. I like 'em both, got a bit of a thing for the wide-open freedom of space actually. And thinking about it, we're more likely to colonize Mars before the Moon - so hmmm. Maybe that's where the future money lies. Can forget that this is all about the green after all... ;) :D

[fightingthecage.livejournal.com]

MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Now you reveal your true colours, oh yes you do! Did I hit you with a wet Che Guevara T-shirt. No I did not. *sticks tongue out* Nyah. Now who's Evol, hmmm?

*snicker*

[peruvianflavor.livejournal.com]

hmpf ... ok I'm evoool, too, but I'm evol for a reason ;)

[withherhands]

.....Huh. If this is serious, then I thought that was part of the whole no-country-owns-outer-space thing. I mean, how can someone sell land on the moon if they don't own it in the first place? And if they "own" it...who ever said it was *theirs*?

[fightingthecage.livejournal.com]

This is what I'm sayin'! Isn't it nuts?!! Seriously, I just stared at it for about five minutes after I read it and just gaped.

I have a feeling that the certificates or whatever, that are issued probably wouldn't stand up as bills of ownership should the question ever arise. *shakes head* Weird. Exploitative and weird.
