In summary, a man named Dennis Hope owns the Lunar Embassy, which sells properties on the moon and other planets. This idea, although seemingly ridiculous, has been successful, and Njorl jokes about selling empty space for cheap but keeping the mineral rights.

I keep asking myself: Why do I work for a living?


A sign outside denotes this as the "Lunar Embassy."

"They ask if it is a real estate office," owner Dennis Hope says. "It is. It is just not for properties on Earth."

Hope, 55, is the celestial executive officer and self-described "head cheese" of the Lunar Embassy.

He has claimed ownership of the moon and all planets other than Earth since 1980.

I have a cube of empty space I'm willing to sell cheap, but I want to retain the mineral rights.
