Lunar Embassy, the Ambassador to Lunacy: An Update On the Moon

When I first wrote about men colonising the moon, I did not realize that someone had already thought of it.  It seems that back in 1980, Dennis Hope found a loophole in the 1967 U.N. Outer Space Treaty which allowed him to claim ownership to parts of the moon and other celestial bodies.  He established his company called Lunar Embassy and is now selling plots of lunar real estate.



(Would you believe HIM?)

According to CNN.com:

In addition to their lunar plot, buyers receive a deed, a site map, a copy of the lunar constitution bill of rights and a copy of Hope's declaration of ownership filed with the U.S. government. There's also a 30-day money back guarantee.

Nonetheless, other speculators have laid claim to the moon as well. One in Texas that peddles moon plots suggests buyers book a ride into orbit aboard the space shuttle and hitchhike the remainder of the way to the moon.

Mr. Hope assures his buyers that they will not get a fake Rolex at twice the price.  This is hilarious.

Like A Phoenix

I had to change the name of my blog--from priyamsmusings to priyamsez. I found the previous name did not express the true nature of my blog. I was not really musing--maybe amusing--but what I was actually doing was saying stuff. Thats not the whole reason either. I was shocked to find "musings" was a word often used by bloggers. What is everybody musing about? We need a little more action and a little less musing. I'll do the thinking for the rest of the world. Remove poverty (shift it a little bit to the right over there), eliminate hunger, educate girls, do this, do that and watch "Ishqiya". There...I did my part. The rest is upto the other bloggers.

We need more Bill Clintons. He is a doer.
