Dennis Hope, the 55-year-old chairman of the Moon Embassy and a real estate agent in outer space, said in an interview with an American reporter that since 1980, he has privately announced his "ownership" of the moon and the eight planets in the solar system and registered a formal real estate company. In Hope's "Moon Embassy" company, people can buy a large area of land from the solar system planets such as the moon or Mars at a low price of $65,438+09.99 per acre, plus $65,438+0.565,438+0 per acre. The buyer buys a large piece of lunar real estate for thousands of dollars, and Hope's company will also issue him a serious lunar passport, lunar real estate license and so on. In addition, if the customer changes his mind within 30 days and wants to "return the goods", the company in hope will allow a full refund. Unemployed Han has "sovereignty" over the moon.
Hope said that before the opening of 1980 "Moon Embassy", he was just an unemployed ventriloquist, and his wife abandoned him because he had no job for more than a year. Hope said that that year1October 22nd, 165438+ when he was driving his brother's car in Concord, California, he lamented his misfortune and dreamed of how great it would be to own a large piece of land.
Hope recalled: "At this time, I saw the moon in the sky from the windshield of the car and thought,' There is a lot of land there.' I remember 12 years ago when I was studying at the University of Oregon, professors discussed with us the Outer Space Treaty made by the United Nations 1967. In this Outer Space Treaty, all members of the United Nations signed and agreed that the sovereignty of outer space celestial bodies does not belong to any country, but the treaty does not stipulate that private individuals cannot own outer space celestial bodies. In order to get confirmation, I immediately drove to the library to search and found that it was true. "
Hope immediately declared the "ownership" of the moon and eight other planets and their satellites in the solar system in a local court in California, just like applying for a patent. Later, he made many copies of this statement and sent it to the US government, NASA, the former Soviet government and the United Nations. In this statement letter, Hope not only claimed his "ownership", but also claimed that he would sell the land on the stars in the solar system, such as the moon. Related comments

Stephen william hawking, a professor of applied mathematics and theoretical physics at Cambridge University, is the most important contemporary general relativity and cosmologist. He is one of the great men with international reputation, also known as "the king of the universe". In the 1970s, he and Penrose proved the famous singularity theorem, for which they both won the Wolf Prize in Physics of 1988. Therefore, he is considered to be the most famous scientist in the world after Einstein. & gt
Francis, who supports the pie in the sky, said, "Some people think it's strange, but this business has become global." "Please face the fact that this is a great thing for our own planet." A real estate legal expert said that this plan is really "a pie in the sky". He joked that everyone who buys "moon pie" should have a psychological examination. They believe that smart buyers are future British aristocrats, just as they got land from William the Conqueror. They also believe that it is very democratic for everyone to buy a small piece of land. At least not by some huge developers to enclosure, and then make a mess of everything. Interestingly, this project has also been "supported" by physicist Stephen Hawking, who once said that after making a mess of the earth's environment, space immigration may be a way to save mankind. Strange American land sales, the judiciary can't do anything about him. Although some Americans say that Hope's behavior is completely "fraud", the American judicial department can do nothing about it.
When an American reporter asked the Nevada Attorney General's Office whether Hope's behavior violated American law, Tom Sagate, a spokesman for Nevada Attorney General, told the reporter: "This is really a headache, but Hope's behavior with the buyer is a willingness to fight and a painful will, which is consensual. In addition, all business licenses of his company are complete. Having said that, in addition, our judicial authority cannot be extended to the moon at present. " Netizen: Just like when someone sold American land, it was just a scam! Nobody is that stupid.
Netizen: 2.3 million customers, and those celebrities, are these people crazy? Ha ha! The solar system is all his.
Netizen: I solemnly declare that all governments, government organizations, citizens and earthlings of all kinds of highly intelligent creatures in the universe, now I solemnly declare: 1 All the stars in the universe (including meteors, planets, stars, black holes and an undiscovered substance in my territory, whether tangible or intangible) belong to me, and I own them.
I agree that all people and organizations on the earth can use the above-mentioned property belonging to them for free, but we should pay attention to civilization and fashion in the process of using it. 3. If any uncivilized behavior such as deceiving consumers in the name of selling the above-mentioned land is found, everyone has the right to show disdain to the parties and do whatever they want. I have no objection:)
Netizen: What about WU GANG and Chang 'e?
Netizen: Just sell the land on the sun. At that time, the rent will be charged according to the exposure.
