does anyone own the land on the moon

Buy land on Moon now...Mars is next

The Earth’s terra firma holds no fascination for Germany-settled Amritsari artiste Harjinder Singh Baghi. He’s already ‘mooning over’ lunar settlements, reports Varinder Walia.

Standard offer: There are over 1,125,000 lunar landowners from 176 countries around the world.

Aspiring for the moon? Not content to have acres of land stretching across the verdant fields of Punjab, and yet more land in foreign countries, the Punjabi community has now started looking towards the Moon and the Mars (Sea of Tranquility) to invest in the real estate!

Like the USA’s Neil Armstrong who became the first man to walk on the Moon, Mr Harjinder Singh Baghi (58), now settled in Germany, has become the first Amritsari to ‘own’ one acre of land on the Moon. Mr Baghi is the son of Jathedar Bur Singh, a great freedom fighter (honoured with the Tamra Patra by the then Prime Minister, Ms Indira Gandhi) who fought for the sake of his motherland.

The proud ‘owner’ of one acre of land near the crater Arago (Sea of Tranquility), Mr Baghi says that it has fulfilled his long-cherished desire to purchase a piece of land on the Moon ever since he had seen Armstrong’s lunar walk in 1969. Recalling the historic day, he said that the memory of the “greatest space event” was still fresh in his mind.

Armstrong had reported the lunar module Eagle’s safe landing with the words: “The Eagle has landed.” As he put his left foot down first, he declared: “That’s one small step for man but one giant leap for mankind.” The historic moments were captured on television cameras installed on the Eagle and turned on by Armstrong.

Mr Baghi, who had migrated to Germany in 1986, has with him the declaration of the Lunar and the Mars landownership deed for the purpose of colonisation. It reads: “The lunar Federation will help set up a free democratic government to secure the rights of the lunar and the Mars colonies. The Moon and the Mars will become their own sovereign states. The Lunar Federation will regulate the colonies until such times that the governmental sovereign state becomes fully self-sufficient. The Lunar Federation plans to set up a permanent lunar and Mars base while setting up the government of the Moon and the Mars to secure private landownership and mineral rights.”

The Lunar Federation promises that the settlers on the Moon would have spectacular views of the Earth, particularly during the lunar eclipses.

Mr Dennis Hope, a Californian entrepreneur who first laid the claim to the entire Moon in 1980, is gearing up to jack the prices of the land on the Earth’s lone natural satellite.

Mr Hope has quietly ‘sold’ parcels on the Moon to some 300,000 people through his Rio Vista California Company, Lunar Embassy. The Lunar Federation claims that for a limited time one can buy the land on the Moon! There are over 1,125,000 lunar landowners from 176 countries around the world. Till date more than 300 million acres have been issued to people from all walks of life here on the planet Earth. The colonisation mission will take place when one billion acres have been issued to the people all over the world!

Out-of-the-world deal

The purchasers of the standard Moon or Mars property package receive a deed, a site map, the mineral rights, the Moon or the Mars Constitution and the Bill of Rights and a registration card. With pricing per acre at only $29.95, who can resist this out-of-the-world deal? Buying land on the Moon and the Mars might be a laughing matter to most people, but Mr Anthony M Grasso, CEO of the Lunar Federation, claims otherwise. “My Company is selling investment deeds to help support a colonisation mission to the Moon and the Mars to secure private land ownership.”

Extra-terrestrial affairs

Can you buy land on the Moon? According to a website you can. The Home on the Internet of the Lunar Embassy claims that it is “the only company in the world to possess a legal basis and copyright for the sale of lunar, and other extra-terrestrial property within the confines of our solar system”. Their basis for this claim is that the UN Outer Space Treaty of 1967 forbids governments from owning extra-terrestrial property, but it does not mention anything about individuals or corporations! What it all comes down to is that for the $30 you pay to buy a plot of land on the Moon, you will gain the ownership of a piece of paper and nothing more.

Another website says that an individual cannot own a piece of land on the Moon. It says surfaces of all solar system planets are protected by international treaties signed in the 1960s and these treaties prevent this kind of purchase. Yet another website reads, “Please do not be fooled by these other companies who say you can purchase land on the Moon. They sell you a piece of paper for $30.00, saying you own this plot on the Moon. No one owns the Moon. Just as in case of homes that sit on the beach in Southern California, you own the home and not the land it sits on.”

Lunar theatrics Interestingly, theatre has been the forte of Mr Baghi whose fascination for the Moon has now made him a famous Amritsari. Before immigrating to Germany, Mr Baghi had directed a number of Punjabi plays in Amritsar. Some of his famous plays that were well received included “Dare Da Theka”, “Kurbani De Punj” and “Jis Tan Lage”.

no one at the moment. Through some US based company do see the land. But legally it has no value.

Since moon has Heluim-3 material in abundance. That’s why so many countries including India have start sending space shuttles to that part to study the materiel more closely. Three space manned trips to moon are sufficient for taking care of world's energy for one year.
