NASA has confirmed its moon base will not illegally occupy other
people's land.
The news deals a crushing blow to the dreams of thousands of
idiots, who coughed the cash for their very own patch of dusty
countryside on the moon. NASA announced earlier this week it would
start building a permanent lunar outpost in 2020.
A NASA spokesman told us: "Property rights on the moon are
governed by the United Nations. Those are all just frauds."
It transpires the moon comes under the same jusisdiction as international
waters. In 2004 the Board of Directors of the International Institute
of Space Law aimed to clear up confusion over the legal status
of land flogging operations.
It said in a statement: "The sellers of such deeds are unable
to acquire legal title to their claims. Accordingly, the deeds
they sell have no legal value or significance, and convey no recognized
rights whatsoever."
