00:00In the 1980s, a man named Dennis Hope made one of the most bizarre yet fascinating claims in
00:06modern history. He declared himself the owner of the moon. While reading the 1967 Outer Space
00:13Treaty, he noticed it banned nations from claiming celestial bodies, but said nothing about
00:19individuals. Seizing this loophole, Dennis marched to his local county office, filed a claim for the
00:25moon, and astonishingly, it went unchallenged. Then came his genius twist. He began selling
00:32lunar real estate to people worldwide, including celebrities and politicians, offering them
00:37novelty deeds to moon plots. Some laughed, others bought in curiosity, but Dennis Hope became
00:44legendary, the man who turned the mystery of space into a booming business, leaving us wondering,
00:50was it legal brilliance or just a cosmic joke?
