    Moon Estates offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of real estate that truly is out of this world - an acre of land on The Moon. If you are looking for a truly original gift for the person who already has all their earthly needs catered for, this is what you are looking for. Give that special someone their own piece of the heavens!

  • It's a novelty gift, but it is in fact completely worthless. You don't legally own any land on the moon. You might as well print off a sheet of paper on your printer to the same effect and save yourself six quid.

    Bum! I was going to buy a few acres and put them into safe keeping for my great, great, great grandkids. By which time I expect there will be land shortage up there and my foresight will have made them very rich. :whistle:

    :rotfl:

    Only, it wont...cos all we'd have is paper. :rolleyes:

    Good novelty gift OP, just be aware you're buying the certificate only.
