WANT TO OWN A PIECE OF THE MOON

There's this company in the United Kingdom (UK) that sells property on the moon. Yes! You got it. The same floating sphere made of 'cheese' that greet us every night is, according to them, is for sale. Now you may think that it's impossible (I said that too). But it seems there are people selling moon properties. And what's more idiotic about this is that there are PEOPLE BUYING!

You can read the full article here.

Here's a piece of the article that started it all.
"In 1980, the Nevada-based entrepreneur claimed ownership of the moon after finding what he calls a loophole in the 1967 United Nations Outer Space Treaty, which forbids countries from owning the moon but, according to Hope, does not forbid individuals from owning it."

So it seems that the Philippines nor the United States can claim that the moon is theirs. But individuals such as myself can claim to have a stake on the moon. What is so pathetic about this is that there are people who take their hard-earned money and buy moon land. They're given a deed made of tin as proof of their ownership.

Now, here's another dumb comment (from the same article).


"At some point the world community needs to come together and draft some new convention or treaty," said Paul Dempsey, director of the Institute of Air and Space Law and McGill University in Montreal. "It is an open wound that needs to be healed."

We need to draft a new treaty to forbid anyone from owning the moon. Now, I do believe that, one day, we will all be able to live in other planets like Mars. But does it sound like we're being very greedy here? The whole things sounds like it's greed driven, don't you think?

And besides, did we even consult with the other planets who may have a stake in the Earth's moon. Maybe there are martians who have been sold moon property? What will they say about this? Did these people even consult the INTERGALACTIC SPACE FEDERATION? (This is a joke, people.)

Personally, we are all just staying here on this earth for a short time. We may live in it but it's we don't necessarily own it. We are caretakers and we should do our part in making the world a better place. We can't take care of the earth and we're so focused on the moon this time?

What do you think? Let me know.
