PTI English ServiceNew Delhi, Sep 18 (PTI) -- Tired of property hassles on the earth? Look to the moon! Sites on the moon are available at throwaway prices - an acre comes all for Rs 1400 and the deal is as simple as buying a product from a departmental store. All you need to do is to book for the land online, make the payment by credit card and the US-based Lunar Registry sends you a "Registered Claim and Deed for Lunar Property".

Hundreds of planetary investment agents have in fact sprung up on the web, offering plots on moon. Dr. Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul KalamSome have even started advertising for space on Mars and Venus, though the registry has not started yet.

There are already over 1,125,000 lunar land owners from 176 countries around the world, which include two former US Presidents, NASA employees and famous movie stars, according to figures available on planetaryinvestment.com, an online moonland agent. Among the largest property owners are superstar entertainer Michael Jackson, who purchased a lunar estate reported at 1,200 acres and valued at Rs 2,000,000.

The fad has also caught on in India as the land is available very cheap and people don't mind buying an acre or two. From a Hyderabad based businessman to an NRI from Punjab and Chandigarh-based engineer, all have a address on the moon.

The president of India, Dr. Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam, who specialized in Aeronautical Engineering at Madras Institute of Technology, is among the property owners from the Lunar Republic Society's program.
