No More Lunar Land for Sale
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."
He's clearly a lunatic.
Not only do they sell Lunar property, but I just got this fantastic deal on this bridge in Brooklyn!!! Highly Recommend this seller!
They'll install their rootkit on it. Then we won't be able to see the thing until it crashes right into us.
I already have the parts assembled for my "Whalers on the Moon" attraction...
As the current US president said:
"There's an old saying in Tennessee -- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee -- that says, fool me once, shame on -- shame on you. Fool me -- you can't get fooled again"
Ahhh! You ended a sentence with a preposition!
Hope claims that while it is illegal for countries to stake a claim on the moon, it is legal for individuals and corporations to, asshole!
But of course! And you could be the Sol owner!
