Nor does buying a piece of Mars, which no one on Earth owns, meaning you cannot legally purchase a piece of it. But you really don’t own any land there, which means you can forget about flying to Mars to visit your new home. As always, don’t waste your money.

We all measure our experience in space-time differently. That’s because space-time isn’t flat — it’s curved, and it can be warped by matter and energy. And for astronauts on the International Space Station, that means they get to age just a tiny bit slower than people on Earth. That’s because of time-dilation effects.

It is true! You too can become a Lunar Land Owner by purchasing acres of land on the Moon. LUNAR LAND company is the world’s most recognized Celestial Real Estate Agency and has been selling land on the Moon for decades. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to get your very own piece of land on the moon today!

A subsequent treaty document, the international Moon Treaty—finalised in 1979 (just five countries had ratified it by 1984, but five countries was sufficient for it to be considered officially in force)—went further and forbade private ownership of extraterrestrial real estate.

Mars is hard Astronauts bound for Mars will have to travel about 140 million miles (225 million kilometers), depending on where the two planets are relative to each other. That means a trip that’s many months long, where astronauts will face two major health risks: radiation and microgravity.

“There is a loophole in the treaty—it does not apply to individuals.” Since then, he’s sold more than 611 million acres of land on the moon. Individual, one-acre lots sell for $19.95 ($36.50 after a “lunar tax” and shipping and handling of the deed) and there are discounts for larger plots.

Article II of the United Nations 1967 Outer Space Treaty, which governs the activities of states in the exploration and use of outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, states that the Moon: In other words no country can claim ownership of the Moon.

The harmful properties of lunar dust are not well known. This is because lunar dust is more chemically reactive and has larger surface areas composed of sharper jagged edges than Earth dust. If the chemical reactive particles are deposited in the lungs, they may cause respiratory disease.

After walking on the Moon astronauts hopped back into their lunar lander, bringing Moon dust with them. They were surprised, and perplexed, to find that it smelled like spent gunpowder.

Astronaut Thomas Jones said it “carries a distinct odor of ozone, a faint acrid smell…a little like gunpowder, sulfurous.” Tony Antonelli, another space-walker, said space “definitely has a smell that’s different than anything else.” A gentleman named Don Pettit was a bit more verbose on the topic: “Each time, when I …

Twelve people have walked on the moon since humans landed there 50 years ago, but no one has ever directly touched its surface. Touching lunar rocks inside a spacecraft, or in a museum, is one thing; removing a glove and exposing yourself to the vacuum of space is another.

The bulk chemical composition of lunar dust varies across the lunar surface, but is about 50% SiO2, 15% Al2O3, 10% CaO, 10% MgO, 5% TiO2 and 5-15% iron (Table 1), with lesser amounts of sodium, potassium, chromium, zirconium.

Underneath the spacesuit, astronauts wear a Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment. Tubes are woven into this tight-fitting piece of clothing that covers the entire body except for the head, hands and feet. Water flows through these tubes to keep the astronaut cool during the spacewalk.
