    As astronomer this sort of this really gets my goat, Fair play to Mr Hope he is making money off the back of a novelty item even if he is an arrogant slime:mad:But the reality is it's not worth the paper it's printed on and you won't really own a piece of the moon. It's the same as the name a star thing where you can name a star after yourself or a loved one but the reality is the stars official accepted name remains the same you just get it named after you in some star registry that they run themselves.

    I'd like to know who gets the money from these sales.

    I remember reading somewhere that this chancer originally sold lots on the moon of about 10,000 acres each for $20 (or something like that) ... but he upped his price when one of the people he sold to started selling off their "land" in 1 acre lots for $5 ....
    I cant believe that he is charging $30 for an acre now ...

    i can't afford to buy stuff on the moon... who would i rent it out to, to make my money back?

    Isn't this scam out for a year or so now? It's based on the ruling to those countries who signed an international agreements stating that none of the signatories could claim ownership of the moon on any part thereof. Some bright *individual* then came up with the notion that he, as a single person, could claim land and did so.

    AFAIK, but I could be wrong, it's doing the rounds in the US judicial system and he *will* be going down for it.
