In the last decade
House prices are like a rocket
Soaring
I'm about to rush out of the atmosphere
When people complain all day long that they can't afford to buy a house
Some people are whimsical
Hit the idea on the moon
Started reselling land on the moon
You read that right
It was the moon where Chang'e lived
Even more bizarre
Not only do people really buy it
It also formed an "alien industrial chain"
Mars, Jupiter, Pluto
Dive into the big sale
Today, the egg sister will pick this up with everyone
"The richest real estate tycoon in the solar system"
The man who owns "the whole solar system"
Dennis Hope
Back in 1980
Dennis Hope is still one
Ventriloquist struggling on the poverty line
The marriage was unhappy and on the verge of bankruptcy
Heavy blows followed
How miserable it is
someday
Hope looked up at the stars
While fantasizing
How nice it would be if pie could fall from heaven
Nor are his demands high
Drop a piece of real estate within the second ring road
The moon dangling overhead
Seemed to be laughing at his wishful thinking
Hope was suddenly blessed:
The land on earth is not my share
But the land on the moon is still ownerless!
The universe is such a big black forest
Can you still hang me on Earth?
Hope remembered when he was in college
The professor once spoke in 1967
Outer Space Treaty as a result of the United Nations
The Outer Space Treaty provides that:
"The sovereignty of outer space objects is not owned by any country, but is the common property of all mankind."
This treaty still guides it today
The direction of space exploration activities
Also known as the "Space Constitution"
Hope clung to the treaty
Research, research
Suddenly he found out
This one is about a huge "loophole"
The treaty though provides for that
Extraterrestrial objects do not belong to any one country
But there are no limits
Individuals or companies have sovereignty over extraterrestrial objects
The next day
Hope got up early
Run to your local library to check the materials
This completely confirmed the vulnerability
He also found
U.S. law
Any U.S. citizen as long as
Property claims are made for unowned property
You can become the owner of the property
Heaven help me!
Hope hastily wrote a statement
Declare yourself to the moon as well
The 8 planets in the solar system besides Earth
Sovereignty
Hope will not only make this declaration of ownership
Filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada
It was also sent to the United Nations and the former Soviet Union, respectively
The results are predictable
The United Nations and the former Soviet Union simply ignored him
What level are you doing?
Get your American dad to come and talk to me
The Nevada Court stated:
"The moon thing is not covered by the laws of this state."
Since no one cares, it is not illegal
Hope was right to acquiesce to them
So he was founded in the United States
"Lunar Embassy" company
And began to advertise online
Super Sale
And real estate on the moon
Hope will land on the moon
Divide into different small pieces
Ordinary land per acre (about 4,000 square meters).
Priced at $19.99
The mineral rights sold for $24.99 per acre
Don't 998, don't 99.8
Just 19.99
Moon Real estate to take home
Besides
You can also get a property certificate
and permanent "voting rights"
By the way, the "Space Passport" requires additional money
$14.99 for a tour of the solar system
You can also book a monthly oh dear
Surprisingly
Such an absurd "real estate"
Someone actually went to buy it
According to Hope himself
Since the moon real estate business opened
Just 2 weeks
He has sold $6,000 in lunar real estate
When the business first started
Which piece of land can the customer buy
Look at "Providence" completely
Hope often pulled out a map of the moon
Close your eyes and point casually
Point to which one to sell
Until later, more and more people bought lunar real estate
Casual refers to the situation that is easy to cause "one place and more sales"
Hope thought of using latitude and longitude
Mark the property for sale
As the business gets bigger and bigger
Just selling lunar real estate
Hope can't be satisfied anymore
"Growing material demand" has been made
Mars and Mercury were also dragged out by him
Publicly sold
And kicked out of the planetary ranks
"Little poor" Pluto
Then it is not "retail", only "whole sale"
It only costs $250,000
You can buy a whole "Pluto"
up to now
"Solar System Real Estate Tycoon" Hope has already
Sold 600 million acres of lunar real estate
300 million acres of Martian real estate
A total of 100 million acres of other planetary properties
Customers served by the "Lunar Embassy"
More than 6 million people
Even a bunch of celebrities and dignitaries
They also came to join in the fun
For example, former US Presidents Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush
and Hollywood superstar Tom Hanks
It is rumored that there is also a royal family in the Middle East
A fan of TFBOYS member Yi Qianxi
He also "threw a thousand dollars"
Bought a piece from Hope
A lunar estate with an area of 40,000 square meters
As a gift for Yi Qianxi's 15th birthday
Compared to hanging high overhead
The moon shines brightly at night
Other planets are clearly less popular
"Little poor" Pluto has been unattended for many years
(Mainly too expensive)
This also speaks to everyone
It's all just "having fun"
Not really stupid
But this "interstellar house" game
Everyone played quite seriously
Since the "Moon Real Estate" was put on sale
Hop received about 160,000 emails
Ask how to protect these "alien properties"
In order to make customers enjoyable
Satisfactory after-sales service
Hops thought before and after
Eventually for their own 6 million "residents"
Founding of the "Galactic Government"
And it took 3 years
Creation of a "Galactic Government Constitution"
It is also a further improvement of the "solar system empire"
Confirmed the look
It's real drama essence, essence
In 2013
Hope declared that the "Galactic Government" had been
Diplomatic relations with 30 governments
And is trying to pursue
Joined the International Monetary Fund
Egg sister felt
The United Nations had to personally help Hope connect
The mental hospital is gone
Now that industry has washed out of the earth
Hope, of course, was not reconciled
"Sales offices" are limited to the United States
So the "Lunar Embassy"
Start recruiting "Alien Ambassadors" around the world
Already
Britain, the Netherlands, Germany and other countries
There are already 6 "Alien Ambassadors"
and 27 distributors
thereinto
The Williams and his wife in England were authorized by Hope
Transformed into "Ambassador of extraterrestrial planets to the UK"
"Legal" sale of outer space properties such as the Moon
Profits are up to £1 million a year
Attracted a larger media outlet to report
However, 90% of the profits of distributors
All need to be handed over to Hope
Hope has really reached the highest level of making money
Lying down also earns money
In 2005
A man named Li Jie
See the news of the Williams
A bold idea came to mind
Li Jie feels that "moon real estate" is in China
There is definitely great potential and business opportunities
After all, compared to foreign countries
At home
The moon has been given since ancient times
More meaning and emotional sustenance
So Li Jie immediately got from Hope
Get agency rights in China
It was registered in the Bureau of Industry and Commerce of Chaoyang District, Beijing
"Beijing Moon Village Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd."
October 19
Li Jie held a press conference
Announced the "Opening of Lunar Real Estate in China"
The "Moon Embassy" in China opened for 3 days
A total of 34 lunar properties were sold
Profit of more than 10,000 yuan
This is comparable to the egg egg sister me
I make a lot of money writing articles
however
U.S. law didn't take Hope
This does not mean that this model is also mixed up in China
October 21
Chaoyang District Industrial and Commercial Bureau to
It is suspected of "speculating and reversing, buying short and selling short" as the reason
Seizure of Li Jie's "Lunar Embassy"
Li Jie's dream of getting rich has not yet unfolded
It's gone
Surprisingly, though
After the "Lunar Embassy" was seized
No customers came to request a refund
Spend $298 on 1 acre of land on the moon
Mr. Li, who gave it to his girlfriend, said:
"I know [moon real estate] is fake, we're just trying to be romantic and make our girlfriend happy." Don't you say, 'The moon represents my heart'. ”
Hope, who was far away in the United States, first learned about it
The news that Li Jie's "Lunar Embassy" was seized
This shows that Li Jie can no longer give him a "confession" on time.
He threatened to revoke Li Jie's agency
Li Jie looked at Hope "turning his face is not a person"
Also angry
At the same time Li Jie found
Hope's statement
There is also a vulnerability
That is
Hope only claimed himself
Has the "bright side" of the moon facing the earth
And there is no mention of the "dark side" behind the back of the earth.
November 25
Li Jie submitted a statement to UN Headquarters:
"I hereby solemnly declare to the human beings on Earth and to other groups of life that may exist in the universe: I, Li Jie, will henceforth be the owner and supreme administrator of the entire far side of the Moon."
Hope was furious when he found out
Dig the corners of the wall so brightly
It's really "uncle can't stand aunt can't stand it"
Immediately, he took an email to Li Jie
Announced his disqualification as an agent
Hope's heart at the time
Or so it goes
Have to say
This wave of operations is really suffocating
However, Li Jie is not the first
Because of the moon's belonging to Hope
The person who has a dispute over "property rights"
Hope who "lay down and earned money" all these years
Not in a lawsuit
It's on the way to a lawsuit
Since Hope successfully registered for "Lunar Embassy"
("Moon Embassy") after the trademark
He has been accused of copyright infringement
Rather than "infringement of property rights" as a reason
To others who claim "lunar sovereignty"
File a lawsuit
Although these "real estates" may
It can never be seen or touched
But the customer bought it
Just a symbolic romantic feeling
Instead of owning physical real estate
In the process
Hope describes his behavior as
Selling "New Things"
Rather than "alien real estate"
Of course
Just as China does not recognize "lunar real estate"
Nor is Hope's trick
It works in every country
In Germany and Sweden
Hope has been accused of fraud several times
But in the end it was all due to the local government
Acquitted for lack of jurisdiction
Hope says:
"No court can solve this problem, but I'm sure I'll be taken to court in the future."
For Hope this behavior
The egg sister only wants to say
Moon you take away
Give Chang'e back to us
presently
Internationally recognized
There is only one right of the individual to space
That is the naming rights of asteroids
International Astronomical Union (IAU) regulations
Discoverer of asteroids
Can be obtained after the asteroid is permanently numbered
Exercise the naming rights of asteroids for 10 years
Currently asteroids are the only ones that can
Named by the discoverer
and internationally recognized celestial bodies
Of course, this is not to say that the asteroids are discoverers
You can give the asteroid a name at will
Before the asteroid name is determined
The discoverer must first submit to the International Astronomical Union
Submit a "Naming Proposal"
Only after the Committee had passed it unanimously
The name of the asteroid will be accepted by the astronomical community
There was a discoverer before
I want to name the asteroid "Google Star"
But it was rejected by the International Astronomical Union
He refused on the grounds that it was "too commercial"
Although the company name can not be used
But asteroids are not averse to naming people by their own names
In March 2009
Amateurs of astronomy on both sides of the strait
Jin Zhangwei, Chen Tao, Cai Yuansheng and Lin Qisheng were 4 people
Collaborated on the discovery of an asteroid
The number is 257248
Because all four of them are fans of Jay Chou
So I named the asteroid "Jay Chou."
（“Chouchiehlun”）
Jay Chou was very touched after learning about it
Dedicated to the album "Cross Era"
Wrote a song as a souvenir
Some were inspired by "Jay Chou"
He hit the idea on the "alien naming rights"
By selling asteroids
Even the "naming rights" of the stars to profit
This behavior is related to Hope's sale of "moon real estate"
There is no essential difference
It's just a striking gimmick for speculators
Consumers are entertaining themselves
It has never been recognized internationally and in academia
This "commercial naming"
Many people know it's a "scam"
There is also a scramble to buy
The egg sister felt that it was also understandable
After all, "I contracted a star for you"
Comparable to "I contracted a fish pond for you"
Much more romantic
Kant once said:
"There are only two things in the world that deserve our deep admiration, one is the brilliant starry sky above our heads, and the other is the noble moral law in our hearts."
Millions of years ago
Humans began to look up at the stars
Thousands of years ago
Human beings began to yearn for the sky
Our yearning and pursuit of the sea of stars
It never stopped
But so many people ahead
Watched for so long
Neither looked out of Hope's commotion
Touch the empty pocket
Still silently struggling on the ground
After all, the house outside the fifth ring
Revealed to us
It's all dismissive little eyes
Well, I won't say anything more
I'm going to contract the universe
After the egg sister developed
All of you here
Each person is divided into one galaxy
