Own Land on Moon: Om Sagar, a BJP leader and a property dealer from Aonla tehsil in Uttar Pradesh’s Bareilly, has reportedly purchased one acre of land on the moon near the Lake of Dreams, a prominent lunar feature, as a unique gift for his son Namaya Sagar. Om also holds a position of District General Secretary of BJP Scheduled Caste Morcha.
According to IANS, he bought the land through Luna Society International, a New York-based organisation that sells extraterrestrial real estate. Luna Society International is one of the two companies in the world that claim to sell land on the moon. The other company is International Lunar Lands Registry. Both companies have customers from all over the world, including India.
Notably, Om Sagar did not disclose the price of the land but said he had registered it with Luna Society International. He was quoted as saying, “My son looks like the moon to me, so I decided to give him a piece of moon as a present.” His wife Rekha Sagar said they wanted their son to be as successful as their parents and to reach the moon someday.
