While looking for the John Russell of two centuries ago, who did pastels of the moon, I came across this little side-add . I could not believe my eyes. Is this true? Is there really a real estate agency that thinks it owns the moon and can sell it? Official Moon PropertyBuy real lunar land claims here. Prices start at less than US$20. LunarRegistry.com Moon owners?

I plan to personally stake my claim on the moon as soon as I collect on my Moon Tour Reservation, which I earned through membership in the Science-Fiction Book Club back in 1955.  -hal (that's right, got it for $1, American) friday

 But you can't be serious! We sliced and crumbled up earth in all those litte parcels , so that individual tiny landowners fight over a neighbour's happily growing patch of ferns on their
boundery. I just want to know the truth. Is this real? Lunacy! Please. tell me if you know. You must be kidding. [... Remember: the only recognized historic precedent in international law for property ownership is actual occupation of that property... ] Well, that precedent should be X-rayed then. How silly. You can sell holy water, you can sell fried air in tin cans, you can cheat the world when it wants to be cheated, but you can't sell the moon. -Bran (no points) Shea

BS, from the FAQ at your link:

Besides, realtors don't own the land they sell; they are merely acting as agents for those who do.
I own two square inches of land on the moon, but they're not contiguous. And I ain't selling.

I checked and found that Faldage does own two sguare inches of non-contiguous barren craterland on the moon, but the reason he ain't selling is that his property is located on the darkside of the moon where the sun don't shine and that is why and where he is stuck and can stick it.  Best beware, BrabShea, of moon hustlers like Faldage and tsuwm, they'll try to sell you what ain't there. Ever see a breathtakingly beautiful full moon that seems to occupy half of the evening sky? That is one of their tricks. Take a picture and you'll barely see a little orange dot. All they want is your money.

Yes Faldage, but then could you tell me straight: Who? Who in the world thinks he or she does own the moon? (if you know) ( don't try to sell me 'the man in the moon') He is not there.

Milum! re: but the reason he ain't selling is that his property is located on the darkside of the moon where the sun don't shine and that is why and where he is stuck and can stick it.
The sun, at some point shines on every part of the moon.
We here on earth only get to see the same side of the moon, the sun is graces all of then moon

Presently, over the internet, the number of ownership claims by various enterprises and business is astronomical. -Wikipedia, Moon for sale heh. "darkside of the moon where the sun don't shine" - Milo ha! (good call, helen) -joe (buyuranus.com) bfstplk
