Is it legal to go to the moon?

Homer Sexual

Ok, I want to try and build a craft to take me to the moon. I don't care if I don't come back. It's small, so I wouldn't need that much fuel to get out of the atmosphere. I plan to modify a light aircraft, which I already own, so that won't be a problem.

All I want to know is this: Does the moon, like, belong to America or something? Do I need some sort of permission to go?

I don't quite think you've thought this through. Also the size of the rockets normally used is because of the force necessary to get out of the atmosphere not the other way round.

Cool idea but are you joking, maybe send a coin or something like that. A thin plane would'nt survive in space never mind making it out of the atmosphere.

your gonna have some commute to work.

Might have a bit of trouble closing your flightplan using a VHF radio if you're on the moon. Although i'm sure Vodafone are putting a mast on the moon so you could always call Shannon to close the plan.

Nobody owns the moon so you're free to go there if you like. And while you're there, would you pick up some of that nice, green moon money for me, javaboy?

You need permission from your mammy. After that you're all set.

Only a lunartic would try this.
pft , everyone knows the Americans own the Moon.

No deal javaboy, that moon money is mine!

Fire Rockets & Be Damned ... Its kinda like planning permission ... simply do it & worry about the legal nicities afterwords :-)

Why would anyone want to go to the moon?

A bunch of gray sand.. and rocks... YAY!

DanGerMus

Actually 4 days worth of oxygen and containers for it may weigh quite a bit.

I wonder does the moon have recessions. Imagine Brian Cowen spending $1 billion on 'Research & Development' just to get to the moon, to find that theres anothre recession on there.

Maybe Roddy Molloy has already been there on his 'Space Research & Development relationship Trips' with Fás?

I don't think Harney ever went to the Moon though. I think she actually got her hair done on earth. It was her gift for being left behind after being rejected by her spacesuit. Her fat was taking up all the oxygen.

evercloserunion

I own the moon. And no, you can't go.

Nehaxak

Could also just use astral projection. Dedicate enough time to it and lots of practice, I'm sure you could reach the moon (or further).

That or build/invent a gravitational controlling device to power your craft, loads have tried, many have failed.

All equally mad ideas.

MrAbc

Maybe you could make a bet with Richard Branson that you can land him on the Moon sooner than he can land you on the Moon!!

He'll have you on the Moon by the end of the week prob

Just ignore all the huge "Virgin" branding on your spacesuit. It'll look cool. Honest.

Alternatively China might take a punt on showcasing you as a happy neo-sino-commie inductee (you may have to learn Chinese and constantly spout some politico mumbo-jumbo to sing their praises and your eternal love of the Red Way, etc). But they've got nice space tech now and no end of man-power to box you into your plastic, lead-painted space coffin craft. Their quality control boffins know exactly where the broken glass and toxic insecticide is supposed to be packed...

Send us a postcard!!
[NB: The Royal Mail are good for deliveries to/from the Moon. Well, it does seem that some of the UK post travels via the Moon currently...]

im guessing it's a hypothetical situation. the government would more than likley stop you before hand citing danger to yourself or others, but legally no, the moon doesn't "belong" to anyone.

slightly OT,but apply the same thing to antarctica, what would the story be?

m5ex9oqjawdg2i

It belongs to nobody, no mans land as far as I am aware :P

You can go, just don't be atouching any of my three beautiful robot daughters.

I went to the moon once. Was standin there, beautiful view of earth and then I get cracked in the back of the head by a cat.A CAT!!Little fcuker was tryin to jump over it but I was in the way....so he died

kaiser soza

Go see MASA (Mexican Aeronáutica y Spacial Administración) they will take you to the moon for $200 and say hello to Willzyx.

Mahatma coat

Just ask the Lizzzzzzzzzzzzzards for a lift, onc they finish spraying chemtrails they head back to their secret base on the Dark Side of the moon

as for The Antartica thing, No one owns it, but there are international laws prohibiting anyone from setin up any kind of permanent settlement there. all those modern Bases are temporary strucures, so the only permanent structures are the old whaling stations (thereopening of which mightbe frowned upon) and the Secret Nazi/Lizzzzard UFO base built in the 30's

so realisticly you need to talk to your local Lizard
