Out of This World Real Estate
The American dream of owning land and a house with a white picket fence has taken on a whole new frontier…space. Why deal with the hassle of escrow, closing costs and realtors when you can purchase an acre of land for $22.49?* What’s the catch? Well, the property is out of this world…literally. It’s on the moon. Who can even sell moon property? That’s what I wanted to know. The Lunar Embassy, of course! According to The Lunar Embassy, it was founded in 1980 by Dennis M. Hope and filed a declaration of ownership with the US, UN and Russian governments. In 2004 Dennis Hope “started his own government in 2004, which has a ratified constitution, a congress, a unit of currency—even a patent office.” If you’re adventurous enough forget the individual acre. Just go ahead and buy yourself Lunar city. In fact, why limit yourself to just the moon? They have a Moon shop, Venus shop and Mars shop. The time to corner the extraterrestrial real estate market is now!
