@applesaucemanny Well, I think they were going to do that in Texas. But, for now, there appears to be an atmosphere on earth that is suitable to human life.
Not to direct the convo too much, but my question was more to address the concept of property. We have managed to create property out of most tangible and intangible things, why not the moon?
I already own the moon, I paid the little green inhabitants about $15 dollars worth of scrapbooking supplies for it. The next ship that lands there will be trespassing on my turf.
@ABoyNamedBoobs03 Not fun at all. Jump too high and you might escape the Moon’s gravitational pull, leaving you helplessly floating off into nothingness.
I’m going out on a limb here and guessing that the real estate market for leasing/selling plots of land on the moon probably isn’t so hot at the present time. I’m going to pass on this for right now until we colonize the good parts of the moon. Are there any good parts? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller??
I would buy land on the moon, and when the supposed or maybe not supposed green house effect really takes place and we become like the characters in water world….. THEN MUHAHAHA… you will come begging for a little plot of my sweet moon!
@Grisaille hmmmm.
You drink your own urine? hmmm. You’ve won the battle but my webbed feet and the ability to swim under water will win the war. Cancel the trying to buy the moon. I’m staying put! I’ll make my money here! MUHAHAHAHAHA!
I think owing the sun is a far better deal. I’m planning to charge a usage fee for every solar cell in operation once they go into full scale operation.
Don’t bother looking for a real estate agent. I own it already. My ancestors bought it from some guy in Egypt named Re Horakhty. I’ll look around for the deed later.
@Lupin Uh-uh… My ancestor Amun-Ra won it from your ancestor in a crocodile duel. Everything has been transferred to my family. It’s in one of our Swiss bank vaults.
@Saturated_Brain I heard about that duel. Later testing proved the your croc was taking performance enhancing drugs so the match was invalidated. You have a copy in that vault.
Let’s say you could buy land on the moon. That would be a very long term investment.
But, one day, your great, great, great, grand children just might strike it rich. Owning land, that by the time mankind starts moving there, would be quite valuable.
Already done, I’ve bought a large tract in the center of the moons near side. A very large billboard visible from earth is being constucted as we speak.
Near as I can tell, the Moon falls under the jurisdiction of the U.N. and they prevent national claims. You may be able to approach them as an individual to buy a plot.
