I know who owns the sun...
"Who owns the sun?
You might go to a notary to get a marriage license or a mortgage, but Maria Duran had another plan. She registered the sun in her name at her local
notary in Vigo, Spain. Under the United Nation’s Outer Space Treaty, no country can claim ownership of the sun but Duran claims that there is no
provision against humans doing so. The 54-year-old woman set up an eBay (EBAY) shop and began selling plots of land on the star for one euro each.
eBay eventually kicked Duran off of the site, and the mother of four turned around and sued the online auction site for breech of contract. At first
the site tried to settle, then argued that there was no jurisdiction. Now the company will have to argue the case in Madrid this July."

GD that woman has it all figured out.
It's those stupid head slap moments that I strive for.
They tried to have me "put to sleep" so I came back to return the favor.

I think Mars is already claimed (according to one of those articles).
And I am going to wait until they start return flights to Mars before i book one. I am not sure I want to stay there.

Rimshot!
Rapopart’s Rules for critical commentary:
1. Attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly and fairly that your target says: “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it
that way.”
2. List any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
3. Mention anything you have learned from your target.
4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.
Anatol Rapoport was a Russian-born American mathematical psychologist (1911-2007).

I own Saturn, and I'm charging Cassini a parking fee AND a littering fee when it reenters over Saturn.
At the end of the day, simulating atoms doesn't beat working with the real things...

Would that make her responsible for the suns radiation and all the cases of skin cancer it has caused? All skin cancer victims should form a class
action and sue her ;)

There is no "land" on the Sun. It is all plasma. There is no solid surface.
What's next? Selling off space, cube by cube?

How much were you thinking of bidding ?
Currently we have several desirable 1m3 units in the Pleiades region from $14, up to $2000 per m3 around Neptune.
Order now while stocks last !

OK as long as you don't sell the space the sun is parked in I already own it.

You know... That's one of the smartest things I've heard in a long time. (shows the company I keep).
I'm thinking what is good for the goose, is good for the gander. I'm actually going to look into this. See if there is a precedent in law to sue
under. Actually I'm pretty sure there is. Toxic land, and wells are the responsibility of the owner... Let's see what she gets out of Ebay, and triple
that amount.
Hell, think big... One Million Dollars!

Sue for about 25% of what she gets off ebay.
No point suing for more then she actually will have left over after the spending spree.
