As some of you may or may not know, an astronaut that was part of Apollo 17 (I think, correct if wrong) named Dennis Hope currently has a job selling lunar real estate. He sells land on the moon.
Realistically, I think this is just basically for fun. Rich people can buy a piece of land on the moon for bragging rights. Pretend you're talking to a girl at a club you just met. "Yeah, I own land on the moon." "OMG no wai!" That kind of thing.
I think this is so wrong, and it kind of offends me. How can a guy sell land on the moon when he doesn't even own it? You get a title deed, etc. But the land isn't really yours. Are you ever going to visit your land?
What's going to happen when people are handed their lunar deeds down from their grandparents when we actually probably can go to the moon, and people want to start claiming land that they don't actually own?
Or does anyone own some land on the moon or know someone who does and there's some fine fine print that says you don't actually own it?
Does the US actually own the entire moon, legally? Who's to say? There's a ton of space programs in so many different countries now. Are we eventually going to go to war over land on the moon? Anyone else see this shit being inevitable given our nature?
