Hello, friends of the Steem Geography Community. Today while I was surfing on the internet, I discovered one website which claims to be selling pieces of land on the moon. The prices are so cheap, and I wondered if this is legal. I did a quick search and in this post, I will show you what I have found.🧐

🖋In 1967, the United Nations (a global organization involving nearly all the world's nations) established a "Space Treaty" which states that space belongs to no state. This treaty, emphasizes that 🪐⭐️space and all celestial bodies are a province of all humanity, and forbids their claim by states and the installation of armaments unless done for the purpose of peaceful pursuit for the good of ALL 🌍
🖋The countries that have signed the Space Treaty are shown in YELLOW on this map, while the countries that have ratified it are shown in BLUE (that is, they have signed it and have officially and definitively adopted it)

🤯In 1980, Dennis Hope, a man from the United States, breaks out and saying, "The treaty says it very well, but it is addressed to states! As a result, the treaty does not apply to me because I am not a state!
After that, he established the real estate firm "Lunar Embassy "🌙 (ie, Embassy of the Moon! ), wrote a letter to the United Nations declaring himself the "OWNER OF THE MOON," and began selling fields on the moon.

😳To date, he has sold about 2.5 million square kilometers (on the moon and other planets), with four former US presidents, Tom Hanks, and Nicole Kidman among the owners.
👉These sales have not been recognized by anyone, and have no force since the most powerful states operating in space, have signed the Treaty banning ownership of celestial bodies.
😂When China announced its plans to send a drone to the Moon, Hope sent an e-mail saying "I let you send a drone but if it lands on a place it has been sold, you will have to pay my client who owns it"
🤷🏼♂️A German has also claimed that the Moon belongs to his family since 1756 (????) while in 1997 three guys from Yemen sued NASA for activity on the moon without their permission (of course they had no effect)
✌🏼According to the data so far, the celestial bodies belong to all of us, so the next time someone will promise you the moon with the stars, do not buy it and say to him "DO NOT BOTHER MY LOVE, THESE ALREADY BELONG TO ME!" 💁🏽♀️
