For geography buffs and real estate sharks, a new frontier: Lunar real estate.
In the interest of funding privatized exploration, settlement and development of the Moon,[url=http://www.lunarregistry.com"]Lunar Registry[/url] is selling seemingly legit deeds to lunar property by the acre. While their mission statement to permanently inhabit the Moon by 2015 seems somewhat loony—or at least astronomically ambitious—shares of lunar land are copyrighted and deposited in the U.S. Library of Congress, the U.N. Depository Library, and international trademark and patent offices, among all kinds of other legal mumbo-jumbo, to indicate that for between 20 and 30 bucks an acre, you could secure a pretty solid post-apocalyptic back-up plan.
The full moon atlas lists locations (Sea of Cold, Sea of Love, Sea of Clouds, etc.) and their zoning parameters (tourism, residential, scientific and commercial industrial) to assist you in choosing the best spot to set up outer-space shop.
Recommended soundtrack for lunar real estate shopping: Feist’s “My Moon, My Man“
