Dennis Hope

Dennis Hope is an American entrepreneur who is involved in the controversial sale of Extraterrestrial real estate. In 1980, he started his own business, claiming to have found a loophole in international law allowing him to claim full sovereignty of the moon. He was the first to sell "lunar deeds" after sending declarations to the US and (then) Soviet governments and the UN. Hope has so far made $9 million from his business, claiming to sell 1,500 lunar properties a day at $20 an acre. He allocates land to be sold by closing his eyes and randomly pointing to a map of the Moon.cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6533169.stm|title=Making a mint out of the Moon|publisher=BBC|date=2007-04-09|accessdate=2007-04-09] As well as "lunar deeds", his "Lunar Embassy" website sells "extraterrestrial domain names" and other space-related merchandise.
