I got an email today suggesting I buy land on the moon via this company (http://www.planetaryinvestments.com/). ANd then when I clicked on the link in my email (my mistake)it also brought up a pop-up about buying land on Mars.
Give me a break people. Do people think that they are actually buying a plot of land on the planet of their choice,despite the fact that chances are slim that we will develop outerspace colonies in this lifetime?
I mean c’mon.Is anyone really THIS gullible?
IDBB
I beg to differ.
Yea, but before I buy, I want to know what the building codes on the Moon are. Can I build my dream 4 bedroom Victorian home with a stunning view of the Earth, or am I going to get a lot of flack from the local government and community homeowners associations?
Read the fine print people. I thought I was buying an acre of land on the Moon. Turned out it was in Minnesota! Talk about your cold, barren wastelands where life can find no purchase. What a rip-off.
As I look out my window onto the cold, barren wasteland of suburban Minneapolis, I realize that you have no idea how right you are, Giraffe.
But if you wanna buy some lakefront property, I’m your man.
Boy are you guys in luck!
It just so happens that I’m a licensed meteor insurance salesman.
For a quote, please email me with the appropriate info.
NASA: We have decided to build a lunar base at lat/long…
Shade: Hey, I own that. Rent $10b p.a.
NASA: Send the bill to our base.
Shade: uh…
‘copyright’ Are they saying this is a good story?
I’ll bet her was.
No comment.
Well, I don’t know them, because you didn’t specify them.
Don’t worry, you can sell it again. It’s not like anyone will check.
Seriously, they claim to haver staked a claim to land… is there any truth in that being a possibility?

Each package contains the deed for one acre of land and it lists the actual location of the property

They say this as if no-one would expect to be told where something they buy is…
Sure, people can sell land on the moon but when someone sells a 1 inch copper coloured alloy reproduction of the likeness of President Lincon he goes to jail.
Yes the guy was selling pennies for 9.95
How much land would I need to build an amusement park?
We’re whalers on the moon,
We carry a harpoon.
But there ain’t no whales
So we tell tall tales
And sing our whaling tune.
You, too can own an acre of Moon.
Boy, I sure don’t want THAT phrase printed on the back of my jeans.
I already own 2 acres of dry alkali lake bed. The moon has nothing to offer me.
She told me she loved me like a brother. She was from Arkansas, hence the Joy!
Seems unlikely that the UN, which claims to own the moon (and planets and everything else in the solar system) would allow this. I mean, acres???
I expect future building codes to preclude much development on the near side of the moon. But hey, go to town on the dark side! That can’t be seen from Earth. (Planetary NIMBY)
Isn’t that from Futurama?
Second episode, IIRC.
