Richard Garriott Claims the Moon

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Tch the moon

I'm heading to Mars that's where it's at!

Psh, the chances of anything going to Mars are a million to one. At least according to Ogilvy.

 

[Simalacrum]

...Man I gotta buy something on the moon before I'm left behind!

 

[RebelRising]

This guy is insane. I love him.

This is madness.

Madness? This! Is! THE MOON! *cue sparta-kick*

With the lower gravity of the moon, I suspect that that kick wouldn't have quite the same, ah, punch. It'd probably be slow-motion, but still.

 

[Brad Shepard]

this calls for a world wide facepalm...

 

[The Random One]

"I'll send you a postcard from Jupiter!"

In all seriousness, though, I can't wait for moon colonization to actually be feasible so I can see the legal clusterfuck that will come out of these things.

 

[TimeLord]

Oh crazy ol' Garriott, soon he'll want his face engraved on the moon!

SHHH don't give him any ideas!

I'd like to see it happen for giggles

Sooooo I should stop making a design for Red Plant condos among the stars?

 

[Kielgasten]

Of course he did, why wouldn´t he....obviously

 

[Daemascus]

So he is claiming it because he bought some space trash that happens to be on it? Wow he is crazy.

 

[Wolf Devastator]

So, Lord British will be sending us a letter from the Moon instead of Jupiter.

[small]I may have been ninja'd on my first idea, but this post is different enough to be original.[/small]

Ah... now the DA "Lord British is going to space!!" line makes sense

Motherfuh-

I don't like ninjas.

I don't see why he feels it necessary to go to space. What is there to do? Say you've been to space and bring home a rock?

I'm not denying that its research is something that should be done, but leave the moon-walking to dead celebrities and scientists.

Ouch, you guys must be slow typers, cause my keyboard is broken so I'm using Microsoft's Character Map and my mouse to type XD

I got here exactly 12 minutes after you, so I don't technically lose.

 

[fer1wi]

Damn it Garroitt, I already called dibs on the moon.

[sub]I had my moon base planned out and everything[/sub]

Then, there is only one option....

We must get there first! Quick, get your spaceship and meet me at Cape Cod! I'll go to Lowe's to get the supplies! No, Home Depot, it's closer!

[sub]Can I have a piece of the moon? Please?[/sub]

 

[The Rogue Wolf]

Well, that's it. He's gone from craziness to full-fledged lunacy.

[small]Do you see what I did there?[/small]

 

[oppp7]

I prefer Mars. At least you could terraform Mars(probably).

 

[MrMisfit]

Next thing you know, he'll lay claim to the term "Wacko". Oh wait, he already did.

 

[Taawus]

I'll send a probe on Pluto.

Then I'll claim Pluto for the Taawus Confederacy.

Building a better future, one scam at a time.

One day I want to be able to shout "Party at my moon base, bro!" while holding a 6-pack of fine liquor (read: beer). We need to establish property rights on the moon.

 

[Deef]

All hail Lord British! Ruler of the Moon!

Oh god I can hear it now...

 

[JaredXE]

That crazy sonnova *****, I really think he has a decent claim. Space IS the final frontier, and if you could personally go out and stake a claim of property, you should have all the rights to it.

Then some big overbearing government will come up and say that your land is THEIR land, but you can 'own' it for an annual fee.

I wonder what property taxes would be like on the moon?
