Webquest I Task #4

A1.What is the Lunar Embassy Corporation, and what do they claim?
The largest privately run organization of space enthusiasts world wide, and the official founders and leaders of the extraterrestrial real estate market. 
2. Does the LEC have any legal support?
Yes, Mr. Dennis Hope filed and registered the claim. According to the old Wild West American Law, he own it because he was the first to claim it.  He has his claim copyrighted.
3. What objections of legal obstacles does the LEC face?
They are only recognized by the United States.  The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 states that the Moon is the property of all Mankind.
4.Why would anyone want to buy from Dennis Hope's company?
They can pass their property to their children and by then there should be more transportation to the Moon.  Anyone would love to be a part of the first to own a piece of the Moon!

This is interesting to me because how can they sell something that is free for all!

If people who purchase property try to put their trailers on their land this is contamination!

This treaty protects the moon for future missions by NASA and other explorers.
