Dear Fiddler,
I”™m anxious to find a little peace and quiet someplace but my options are somewhat limited due to past actions. Any suggestions?

Dear Edward,
The man to see is Dennis Hope. He owns the Moon. He”™s also president of the Galactic Government, which represents landowners on the Moon and other extraterrestrial properties.
As you might imagine, there are those who say Hope is full of green cheese. There are a number of other claimants and competitors. Such as, the major nations of the world. For an overview of various national and international laws and treaties relating to the Moon, check out the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs.
You”™d probably get a nice welcome from a group of artists who have established “The Republic of the Moon.” But for the moment they don”™t appear to be colonizing, just offering exhibits, performances, workshops and other events.
Another very active group is the Luna Society, which carries on important projects such as naming a crater after Michael Jackson – whom they identify as having owned property on the moon. The Society is focused on development of Moon resources. There is a lot of titanium up there, an expensive ore due to extraction difficulties.
