For Sale: Nice Parcel with Views of Sea of Tranquility and Earth!

Home is where you hang your spacesuit.

Who owns the moon? Technically no one... yet. The question of lunar property rights has been around as long as the prospect of going to the Moon has been feasible (i.e. the past 5 or 6 decades) and Popular Mechanics has an interesting article on the history of this debate. Apparently some guy has been selling parcels of Moon land to people for a while now through his company called Lunar Embassy. No one has told him he can't yet, so if you are interested in becoming a land owner (albeit on the Moon) the going rate is about $20 per acre.
