The US owns the moon!
« on: August 02, 2006, 02:50:37 PM »
The moon officially belongs to the United States.
Anyone who begs to differ needs only to take a look at that famous picture of Neil Armstrong and his flag.
You hear that world? Yeah, that's right: We own the moon!
I really think we should claim it as an official territory and make it our 51st state. After all, isn't having more territory what every country wants? Claiming the moon would be the perfect way for the United States to expand its landmass.
Besides, it would definitely save Utah the embarassment of being the state with the fewest registered voters.

If the US wanted a 51st state, there are many closer alternatives than the moon.  For example, Washington, DC residents pay federal income taxes but have no representatives in Congress or the Senate.

Wasn't there some American dude selling plots of "Moon" land a while back? I wonder if he's got any left to sell.

Maybe everyone in here knows about it already.

What a diamond of an entrepreneurial idea.

I'm OK with that idea if you can make Bush move there.

Either ...

1. We never went in the first place

      (ok, I don't actually believe this myself, but I'm becoming more open-minded about conspiracy theories)

Or ...

2. There's no point ... too bloody expensive ... and if we want to explore space we can send robots up there

We went to the moon. In 1969.

Does the first flea to land on, say, Bush's backside own Bush's ass? Ordoes he have to plant a flag  before making his claim?

Don't laugh. This is a serious question.

I don't see why not. And besides, I want a word with that flea.
