First I’d like to thank Chris, a Daily Common Sense reader, who found the Red Planet Land website. It’s really awesome and hard to believe but it does exist. You can visit the website and have a look for yourself but it’s basically a Mars real estate website. That’s true, you can buy a 1 acre land on mars to secure your future. Ridiculous.
For about 35$, you get 1 acre of land on mars and the full package you see on the picture which is basically a certificate, facts sheet and a picture of mars. I would personally feel bad selling this to people. The real question is how could someone even think of buying this, thinking it’s true?
Why would anyone pay 35$ for a piece of paper that has absolutely no legal value and that you won’t be able to use? The NASA is trying to have a Man-made mission to Mars by 2037, which means it will take a really long time before regular people like you and me can make it to Mars! The owners of this company will be dead by the time we can go to Mars (If one day we can…) but until then they cash-in!
Another good scam I guess…

Never underestimate the stupidity of people. Bottom line is: if you get your crap in front of enough people, it will sell.
I have to agree with that!
I’m buying an acre for my Mom as a joke.
