Did you know you can buy land on the moon?

This site claims that there are already over 1,125,000 lunar land owners
from 176 countries around the world. To date more than 300 million acres
have been issued to people from all walks of life here on planet Earth. The
sale of lunar property has been ongoing for 22 years by the Lunar Embassy!

Can this be trusted? It's a pretty good investment but I don't know if it
holds in court.

It won't hold.

Off the top of my head, I can think of a heck of a lot of loopholes
in their claims, mainly dealing with how the US enacted the specific
legal requirements to meet the Space Treaty and entered them into the
US Civil Code.

Essentially, the US has no mechanism in place to legally recognize
anything other than the specific hardware launched and no international
convention in place to assure any such land claim being recognized.
In fact, the international treaties and conventions tend to specifically
negate any claims not based on specific hardware and purposes. The US
entered into a number of agreements whereby any claims made are not
exclusive. Other nations have the right of usage as long as it does not
significantly impact the specific purpose of the land in question.

Now, within the US, there are potential avenues of treating lunar land
as property, but none have any legal basis as of this date.

A hell of a lot of spam. I took a look at the site, and this
"inquiry" uses almost exactly the same language as the site does.
This same post, and at least one other that was similar, has shown up
in sci.astro.amateur and who knows where else.

BTW, the site justifies itself with statements that could be
successfully countered by any reasonably bright high school history
student.
