Jammu: Quoting Prime Minister Narendra Modi from his address on the successful launch of ‘Chandrayan-3’, "Chanda Mama Bas Ek Tour Ke," and inspired by ISRO’s Moon Mission, a prominent businessman and educationist from Jammu, Rupesh Masson, has purchased land on the moon.
Masson, who is the Regional Director of UCMAS for J&K and Leh, has purchased the land patch on Luna Earth's Moon, Tract 55-Parcel 10772, known as Lacus Felicitatis "Lake of Happiness", located at 18.72° North Latitude, 5.02" East Longitude.
"The land was purchased via the Lunar Registry in New York City and certified on August 25, 2023," Masson said.
'It is reflection of our quest to see what lies beyond'
"Ideas of occupying space on the moon are a reflection of our quest to see what lies beyond, which is itself a reflection of our quest for deeper meaning within ourselves," he stated.
He said that a plot on the moon is either a token of hope in a future when plots on the moon will have meaning or a cost-effective psychological escape devise for the person confronting climate change, sickness, and a future of intensifying scarcity here at home.
"By forming a tangible connection with a different future, this kind of purchase is satisfying a need for some sense of some degree of preparedness for a different future," he said.
675 very well-known celebrities own moon real estate
