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?

    There is also the issue of adverse possesion (squatters rights for you uneducated swine) and this has caused me sleepless nights as I am unsure as to how to asert my property rights and prevent Pat Kenny from using it as a garden...

    Give the acre to Starla. Homeless problem solved. She can find herself a little moonman. Boyfriendless problem solved.

    How can someone sell/gift a piece of the moon. It's not theirs to give away. You might as well sell the planet Jupiter down your local for a tenner. Or sell London Bridge to an american tourist

    Hydroponics.

    You can solve world hunger without soil, but there are still some logistical problems like lack of water but its nothing that can't be figured out.

    You could hire Pat Kenny to run your hydroponic empire and he wouldn't be able to squat as he's your employee. And it means he wouldn't be here, which is an added bonus.

    lunacy.

    if you'd believe.. mcGurk owns a piece of the moon :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,594 ✭✭✭bonerm


    Joking aside I've always wondered how it is legally possible to "sell the moon" or "sell stars in outer space" as essentially you are selling a person nothing for 'real' money. I mean does the seller have to possess some proof of ownership before they can sell it on? Conversely could some unscrupulous soul knowingly take advantage of the novelty transaction by buy some of the moon and then suing the seller on the grounds that the they were sold stolen goods etc.....?

    (oh yeah, I think you should plant m+m's on your acre OP)

    Open a gentlemans club.

    No one technically owns the moon, so you actually got nothing. Some guy in the US claimed ownership of it years ago but the UN ignored him because he is an idiot. Regardless he's been licensing moon estate agents ever since.
    Now like most idiots he's rich.

    After googling Hydroponics I think you may be on to something. But now I wish I was giften an acre on Mars instead and I could melt their ice caps (saw it on total recall, very doable)

    It's just a scam, how can anyone possible lay claim to land on the moon? Who gave this so called 'real estate agent' the right to do so? Under what country's jurisdiction would it fall? Where are the international treaties? There are none. If man ever colonises the moon it'll never be recognised by the law. They're even selling land on Mars and Venus, c'moon people you can't be so naive.

    You'll need to spend the rest of your life glued to a telescope, this dirty protests going to the moon!

    Hi *waves* Are you my new neighbour?

    I think I'll claim ownership of Mars. I want a bit of that ice cap action and I see no reason to let Richard Branson have it.
