Discover the science, law, and philosophy behind the Lunar Birthright Project
The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite. It has a surface area of approximately 37.9 million square kilometers, which is about the same size as Africa and Europe combined. The Moon's surface features include craters, maria (dark plains), and highlands.
The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 states that outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty. However, the treaty doesn't explicitly address private ownership, which is why the Lunar Birthright project exists - to ensure equal access for all humanity.
The Lunar Birthright project is founded on the principle that all humans are born with equal rights to the resources of our solar system. By giving every person a quarter-acre plot on the Moon, we're ensuring that space exploration benefits all of humanity, not just the wealthy or powerful.
Like Earth, the Moon uses a coordinate system of latitude and longitude. Latitude ranges from -90° (South Pole) to +90° (North Pole), while longitude ranges from -180° to +180°. Your plot has specific coordinates that identify its unique location on the lunar surface.
The Lunar Birthright Project isn't just about owning a piece of the Moon - it's about establishing a precedent for how humanity approaches space exploration and celestial resource management.
By claiming your quarter-acre plot, you're participating in a movement that believes space should be democratized, not monopolized by governments or corporations.
With 37.6 billion plots available, there's enough for every person alive today and many generations to come. Your birthright is secure.
