Getting the moon “lowered” is impossible, but not buying a piece of land on it. This is not the slogan of Moon States, but it could be, and it is that this North American company, led by Dennis M. Hope, sells parcels on the moon for 34 euros per 0.4 hectares. Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman and John Travoltaand even two former presidents of the United States are already co-owners of the moon, and for the price, it is within the reach of almost everyone.
But where does all this madness come from? He Outer Space Treaty, of 1967, prohibits any country from claiming the sovereignty of any celestial body. This agreement, promoted by the US and the USSR in the midst of the space race, has been signed by 113 countries since its ratification. However, this document does not speak of private individuals claiming ownership of the Moon, something that Dennis M. Hope brought to his land (pun intended) in the 1980s.
The visionary sent a letter to the United Nations, announcing that he claimed to be the owner of the Moon and 9 planets and that he intended to parcel out its surface and sell it. Since then, he is what he has dedicated himself to.
It is estimated that the sale of land in the Moon has reported profits of 9 million eurossays Hope. She sells a plot of 0.4 hectares for 34 euros, so the sale of the entire lunar surface would mean an operation of 32,774 million dollars.
His company, Moon States, has 6 million customers, that is, the Moon would be owned by these people, among whom are Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman or John Travolta, and even two former presidents of the United States, always according to the version of Hope.
For the management of these lands and their resources, Hope established an institution where these owners participate, which he called the Galactic Government, which has its constitution and flag, as well as its own currency.
However, to be frank, there is no legal support for Hope’s inventionTherefore, the deeds of sale of the plots of the Moon are invalid. ABC reports “that it is a scam, because the Moon and other celestial bodies are not susceptible to appropriation”, but is 34 euros worth more than the illusion of thinking that you are, in part, the owner of the moon?
