India is doing historic things these days, the moon is always on the news.
But this time the reason might be little different.
As just two days after India achieved the historic milestone with landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the lunar surface, an entrepreneur, and educator from Jammu and Kashmir made a unique purchase: land on the Moon.
The Man who owns a piece of Moon is named Rupesh Masson is a 49-year-old businessman from Jammu and Kashmir. Masson as per the Mint, also serves as the regional director of UCMAS for Jammu and Kashmir and Leh.
Talking to Hindustan Times (HT), Masson shared the details of his lunar property. He revealed that he has purchased land on "Luna Earths Moon, Tract 55-Parcel 10772 known as Lacus Felicitatis (Lake of Happiness)."
His idea behind buying a plot on the Moon was linked to humanity's inherent curiosity about what lies out there.
This lunar property was purchased from The Lunar Registry in New York City and was officially certified on August 25, according to Masson.
He said that the Moon represents a symbol of hope for the future and could also serve as a psychological escape hatch for humans facing the challenges of climate change.
Masson believes that owning land on the Moon can provide a sense of preparedness for an uncertain future.
He also noted that approximately 675 celebrities and three former US presidents also own extraterrestrial land on the Moon and other planets.
