For a limited time only: Buy your little piece of the Moon

Don't miss out on your share of the future. Hurry down to the world's foremost seller of extra-terrestrial property and buy your piece of the Moon before it's too late.

A short documentary by Canadian filmmaker Simon Ennis profiling a man who runs a business selling plots of land on the Moon is featured on the New York Times website this week.

Its subject is Dennis Hope, an entrepreneur who declared himself owner of the Moon and decided it was for sale. He's been making his living selling lunar plots by the acre since 1980 and customers will soon be able to buy land on Mars, Venus and one of Jupiter's Moons, Io, according to his website.

The site says to beware of other companies selling Moon property.

"The Lunar Embassy is THE ONLY COMPANY in the world to possess a legal basis and copyright for the sale of Lunar and other extraterrestrial property within the confines of our solar system," the website says.

"You could be purchasing a worthless piece of paper if you are not purchasing Lunar land from an authorized Lunar Embassy agent."

You've been warned.

The story is adapted from its creator's documentary, Lunarcy!, which first premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.

Lunarcy! profiles a man who plans to live on the Moon, the editor of the Moon Miners' Manifesto and Dennis Hope as they follow their eccentric lunar dreams.
