Default Lunar Landrush Underway!

While you guys are talking about the ideal Moon base, the land is
being sold out from under you!

Dennis Hope is doing a land office business selling prime lunar real
estate! He has sold over $2 million in Moon lots so far! (Why didn't
I think of this?!)

You can buy a one acre prime lunar view lot for $19.99 plus $10.00
S&H.

And now, prime view lots on Mercury are also available for $22.49 +
S&H.

They also have worldwide offices. In the UK it will cost you 16.75
pounds for your lunar acre.

So, nighbat, Bert, put your money where your mouths are and become a
lunar landowners. That way you can have a little off world place to
entertain Darla that no one else needs to know about! Ha! Ha!

This is rather like those "name a star" companies, the fact that it's only
meaningful inside the files of their offices doesn't seem to be a deterrant.

A few years ago I made a joke webpage that claimed to advertise real estate
on various asteroids. It was meant more as a whimsical tour of the asteroid
belt. I got an email from some company claiming that THEY had the rights
to the asteroids, and I should cease and desist.

I wrote them back, politely telling them they must be out of their minds if
they really thought they had any claim on any real estate outside the
Earth's atmosphere. Funny, never heard from them again.

I've since taken that webpage down, more because it got stale, but maybe I
should do an updated version.

In the meantime, you might enjoy this little Flash game I made.

Save the Earth from an approaching asteroid.

It's not quite finished, but it's playable:

I myself can't get beyond the 5th level (where there are 3 fragments heading
towards Earth initially), but a friend I had playtesting it said he got to
the 6th level, so apparently it can be done....

nightbat,

If you were selling Title Insurance I might buy some. For some reason
I just have a feeling there is something fishy about those deeds!

I can however see the need for covering the hazards you mention. You
wouldn't want the finish on your Moon rover to be pitted by those
micrometeorites without being compensated! At least you wouldn't need
hurricane insurance on your Moon lot (hear that Bert!), although on
Mars you might need dust storm coverage.

Fire insurance might still be needed. Even though you wouldn't expect
a building made of Moon rocks and standing in a hard vacuum to burn,
yet interior fires fueled by leaky oxygen tanks could be devastating.

Moonquake insurance might not be needed since the Moon isn't as
seismically active as the Earth. But collision coverage for your Moon
rover might be needed in case you cross paths with one of those NASA
drivers!

But that claim jumper insurance would be a must, because if NASA were
to discover gold on your site, your claim to it would be about as
ignored as the Sioux Indians' claims to the gold found on their
ancestral land in the Black Hills!

Double-A
