My place on the Moon

    I was fortunate enough to be given an acre on the moon this christmas :)

    However, I am completely lost as to what to do with it :confused:
    Any suggestions?

    Rent it out for advertising space... assuming it's the bright side of the moon.
    If it's the dark side of the moon, you can charge parking fees for the aliens who are secretly spying on us.

    Well I've got this little place on the moon and I hear that the sex at 1/6 of gravity is amazing
    Just don't ask me to respect you in the morning

    But on the Moon, it takes about 14 days for the morning to come, so it'll be quite awkward.

    Say you have discovered oil and some country will bomb the **** out of it and set up a McDonalds & Starbucks nearby.

    Dear Slasher,

    I hope this post finds you well.

    I got an acre of moon land at christmas about 10 years ago from my sister, have posted about it before too. Considered selling but no one was savvy enough to make an reasonable offer.

    You are welcome over to my plot anytime Slasher for hang sandwiches, a flask of tae and whatever jaffa cakes I can find to hand.
    Send me your coordinates and we'll see if you are nearby, I don't have mine to hand but I'll check when I do.

    Yours Sincerely, your neighbour,
    The-Rigger

    If you take a trip there, watch out for those pesky Clangers:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    The moon dude would sue the pants off you and I doubt you can make any claim to the ocean floor either.

    Nice try Tara.

    Hahahaha :D
    Just so I get this straight:

    - Someone set up a website selling parts of something that could never be rightfully owned or sold (moon in this case)
    - selling parts to either totally stupid people or people willing to buy parts for a joke (stupid too)
    - but since no one can actually own the moon, it is not illegal to sell so called parts?



    :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    Why can't someone own the moon?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 911 ✭✭✭whatsamsn


    So rigger you are saying I can set up for own website tomorrow selling parts of the moon and or other planets? :D

    and its all legal? ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    No, someone already laid claim to it, you're a bit late. :)
    You can try though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 911 ✭✭✭whatsamsn


    But I just did a bit of research hahaah.
    More than one person "claimed" it :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,332 ✭✭✭RichieC


    Who owns the moon that they can be selling bits of it? I know the yanks tend to believe it's theirs but that's patently ridiculous.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,815 ✭✭✭✭galwayrush


    Can we send Bertie and his fellow rats there? I can't think of any other use for the land.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 334 ✭✭Elohim


    If ya ever get to your acre make sure to pick up some of that nice green moon money

    So how much would it cost to buy the who thing?

    I'd imagine this could be worth quite a bit in years to come. Is it for real If I bought a few acres of it would I legally own it. Could I charge people who visit it ect?

    Charge? Charge? :eek:

    Uhmmm.... since when did warp drives appear...... :P

    The cost for a return ticket to the moon is "lemme get my VISA card out".... :rolleyes:

    "You do understand sir, that you have to undertake training for 6 months prior which comes to an additional cost".... "Oh .... uhm yes... here's my AMEX"... and "sir...would you like a window view or a back view.... that'll be ....", "Oh yeah... window view - spectacular innit... here's my MasterCard"....

    Nice way to get bankrupted.... unless you're a multi-billionairetrillionair.... :p

    Are they not going to start flying to the moon for 500,000 or something? It not that expensive really for the rich and famous. They'll be building real fancy hotels then and what not on it. This could make millions in years to come.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,332 ✭✭✭RichieC


    500 grand to the moon? more like $100 million.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,129 ✭✭✭✭Oranage2


    Haven't the conspiracy theorists proven that the moon is fake?

    Currently it does cost €100m, but have you ever heard of Virgin Galactic?

    I thought I remember hearing that America owns the moon so how is it being sold?
    Was the moon landing even real? I just find it hard to believe that back in the 60's when they hadn't even got colour TV that they could get into the moon.
