Lunar embassy warns of real estate shortage | |
2006-03-24 | |
The Plovdiv lunar embassy is the first in Bulgaria but one of dozens around the world, licensed by the Galactic Government's CEO - in this case celestial executive officer - US entrepreneur Dennis Hope. In 1980, Mr Hope proclaimed himself the owner of the moon and all planets and satellites in the solar system (except for the Earth), by exploiting a loophole in the 1967 UN Outer Space Treaty, which states space property "is not subject to national appropriation" but says nothing about private or corporate owners. | |

#13 Bah! All of you back off! I claim personal and direct ownership of every other planet in the universe not thus far claimed (ie youse who have claims in already will have those claims validated by my personal authority)! Anyone else who files a claim has to make it through me and has to file all the valid paperwork and pay the proper fees forthithy before you receive a properly imprinted and signed authentic document describing your claim.

#7 Ah, but you are still subject to the Galaxians with Disabilities Act. You'd best start installing those tentacle faciltators tout suite or the fines will be staggering. |

#3 I demand the Lunar government install infrastructure improvements before I even consider this. For example, they might wanna fill in all those holes... |

#2 Sure, speculate in lunar realty if you want, but it's risky. What if the market craters? |
