A Chinese company has had its license suspended after it tried to make money by selling land on the moon.

The Beijing Lunar Village Aeronautics Science and Technology Co. managed to sell large swathes of pristine lunar property before being shut down, the state -owned Xinhua news agency reported on Monday.

The company, claiming to act on behalf of an entity referred to as the Lunar Embassy in China, charged 298 yuan (37 US dollars) for each acre (0.4 hectare) on the moon, according to the report.

Each lucky new owner of lunar soil was issued a "certificate" that ensured property ownership including rights to use the land and minerals up to three kilometers (1.9 miles) underground, Xinhua said.

Li Jie, CEO of Lunar Embassy, said that 34 clients bought 49 acres (20 hectares) of land on the moon in the first three days after his company became operational last month.

It's called Lunaticular Investing. A great plan for the future. Buy 1000 acres on the bright side with a full view of the earth, then through the science of cyrogenitics freeze youself, come back from the dead and sell it at a large profit in about 200 hundred years when they colonize the moon. How's that for a retirement plan?

Thanks to Jim Morris for the idea.

About as useless as naming a star. Although all that is legal in the US. Since neither are ever in an astronomical data base, your better off pointing at the moon or a star and saying "I own that".
