That free lunch that you were talking about....

Reading on BBC:

From his office in Nevada, entrepreneur Dennis Hope has spawned a multi-million-dollar property business selling plots of lunar real estate at $20 (£10) an acre.


This guy has made $9m till now.

Buyers include Hollywood stars, large corporations - including the Hilton and Marriot hotel chains - and even former US presidents Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter. George W Bush is also said to be a stake holder.


What drives me nuts is:

day. He allocates land by simply closing his eyes and pointing to a map of the Moon.



So, uh, who said there was no free lunch? I mean, by the time this guy's claims are challenged in court, he would have enjoyed much of that $9m.
