Dennis Hope made $10 million selling plots on Moon, Mars, Venus and Mercury. There are websites who claim to have sold 300 million acres of land on these extraterrestrial objects in the last 22 years. Mythologies in Himyaritic and Sabaean civilizations claim planetary inheritance existing over several thousand years.
Maria Hugo of Spain claims ownership of a part of Sun and has registered the Star and notarised it in an office in Spain. She sells solar flares emanating from those parts she claims to own and can bill you and me for the solar energy you could be generating out of those flares. Further she could bill you for the light you receive or the sunlight supported farms you grow or the wind it generates etc etc
Even empty space between objects is available for sale.
It is a matter of objectivity whose space the Russians , Americans, Europeans or for that matter Japanese, Chinese , Koreans and Indians used to fly all those space ships into the Moon , Mars, Mercury, Venus and outer echelons of the Solar system including the Sun itself. And whose space is International Space Station using anyway.
Extraterrestrial space is nobody’s estate as per the Outer Space treaty signed by most countries. The land being sold on extraterrestrial objects is neither realistic nor speculative. It is just imaginative and a figment of psyche. People buy, sell, invest, gift these lands for the thrill of it. Feeling that I have a land on the glorious Moon of which there are thousands of legends and where the famous Apollo missions landed is a matter to be proud of. Mars the planet where the most activities on any extraterrestrial object are taking place presently is also the world of Edgar Rice Burroughs ‘Barsoom’ and his eternal Princes and where once flowed active canals and life may have thrived. Buying a land on any of these objects where you now can just crane your neck futuristically in the skies and watch the twinkling stars could be a chance to behold. It could satiate a lot of your emotional side of the brains hemisphere.
People buy and sell a lot of material goods. But buying a fantasy is amazing. Is it exactly like buying a fantasy book or watching a fantasy movie that you have paid for?
Or is it just that somebody is looting you with his idiosyncrasies!
