Lucas owns a piece of the moon?

Lots of people think they own a piece of the moon. You yourself can buy a plot of lunar land on ebay if you want. The problem is, there is some confusion over who actually owns the whole moon and therefore has the right to sell it (or bits of it). One guy says he laid claim to it first, another says he did. Another area of debate is that even if the guy who claims to own it is granted official ownership by the US government, who's to say the US government has the right to say 'yes, that guy legally owns it'.

Bottom line: Nobody owns the moon.

But if somebody officially did, and it was agreed the world over that he did, I would definitely buy a plot from him - and when we start colonising, I (or my kids) will make a killing.

So Lucas owns a piece of the Moon? Do you think will try to carve a likeness of his face like Cobra Commander did?

I thought there was a law against selling or owning retail on or of heavenly bodies.

Or maybe people just don't care. I think it's good to not try to "own" property on other planets until people start living there themselves.

I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.

The guy that sells pieces of the moon claimed for the ownership of the moon in 1980 and got it. States or countries have nothing to say against this so the moon and all other planets are his property. He claims to have sold pieces of the moon to George Lucas, Bill Gate,s Tom Cruise, Clint Eastwood and Rob Van Oudenhoven (you may not know him but he is very well know in Belgium) and many other customers.

You say he claimed and got it. With who did he make his claim, and who are they to say he can have it?

Sorry bud, I already claimed it last week. Neptune too. You can take your pick of what's left though.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

To prove your name or to prove your ownership of Mars? And who issued these Mars ownership papers? What gives them that authority?

No one can claim territory not under any country's legislation. That's why no one can "own" part of international waters, south pole, or the moon.
“Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

Dude, I know you were joking and so was I. I also know what kidding means - I'm not from Mars you know.

George Lucas does own a piece of the moon...as in an actual moon rock...back when NASA actually sent astronauts to the moon, they would always bring back a few hundred pounds of rock from the moon. Lucas has one of these rocks...so you see, George Lucas does indeed own a piece of the moon...or at least a piece of the Arizon Desert (for you conspiracy theorists out there)

Now, see, that makes more sense. I don't know why we didn't think about it that way! Thanks a lot!

Who gave it to him? Zod?

"or at least a piece of the Arizon Desert (for you conspiracy theorists out there)"

ROTFL! I love that movie.

BTW, some guy does own the lunar vehicle on the moon. NASA sold it. Too bad he can't actually go and claim it....yet.
