No More Lunar Land for Sale

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the then-i-have-a-bridge-to-sell-you dept.

dptalia writes "According to China Daily, Beijing authorities have shut down sales of lunar property. Apparently there's a "Lunar embassy" in China and they've sold 34 people deeds to land on the moon. Not too surprisingly, the government has declared this illegal. The Bejing office claims to be a satellite of the U.S. Lunar Embassy, run by Dennis Hope. Hope claims that while it is illegal for countries to stake a claim on the moon, it is legal for individuals and corporations to."

    You moron, did you really believe you could buy and develop land on the moon?

    If you were even halfway serious about buying and developing on interstellar property, you would have at least bought properties from these guys. Buying moon land.. what a joke.
