Own two acres of land in outer space…sort of

What would you plant up there anyway?

Farmers looking for their next parcel of land may consider looking

to the stars and beyond.

For only £10, or about $14 U.S., people can own two acres of lunar land on the moon if they purchase it from discount website GROUPON.

After an online registration, landowners receive a certificate of ownership, a photobook, moon map and a 3D digital atlas, allowing them to pinpoint their plot.

What’s the surface of the moon like, anyway?

According to Popular Science, soil from the moon can be made up of t

he nutrients plants require other than reactive nitrogen and a steady water supply.

A 2014 study on whether or not plants could be grown on the moon or Mars said that it’s possible but more research is needed.

Speaking of Mars, there’s real estate available on the red planet also.

For $15, landowners receive a deed with their name, a map of the plot’s location and boarding pass to Mars should they want to visit.

At least in Hollywood’s eye, Mars is a viable location for crops.

In the Matt Damon movie The Martian, his character successfully plants and harvests potatoes on Mars.

According to NASA, the planet does have the nutrients plants would need to survive. However, depending on where the plot is located on Mars, the levels of nutrients could vary.
