One Acre of Mars!"Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars" - so get a plot of land
on the red planet - for the red hot blooded man in your life! With Mars grabbing
the headlines over the last few weeks, it looks like land will soon be valuable
so with property prices soaring down here on earth now's the perfect time to
buy.
So how it is possible to 'sell' land on Mars? MoonEstates, a very clever company,
have been studying the Outer Space Treaty of 1967 put forward by the United
Nations which forbids any government from claiming a planet like Venus, but
didn’t mention whether private individuals can claim some for themselves.
In 1980, an American called Dennis Hope laid his claim to Mars with the Russian
and American governments which has never been contested and since then he’s
sold tens of thousands of plots. So now you can buy a claim to an acre of Mars
in your own name or someone else's as a great gift or romantic gesture.

US governments

Some facts about Mars
- Mars is the farthest rocky planet from the Sun.
- Mars has a diameter of 4,200 miles (6,800 km), just over half the diameter
of the Earth, and its mass is only 11% of the Earth's mass.
- The mean distance of Mars from the Sun is about 141 million miles (228 million
km); its period of revolution is about 687 days, almost twice that of the
Earth.
- At those times when the Sun, Earth, and Mars are aligned (i.e., in opposition)
and Mars is at its closest point to the Sun (perihelion), its distance from
the Earth is about 35 million miles (56 million km); this occurs every 15
to 17 years.
- At oppositions when Mars is at its greatest distance from the Sun (aphelion)
it is about 63 million miles (101 million km) from the Earth.
- It rotates on its axis with a period of about 24 hr 37 min, a little more
than one Earth day.
- From Earth, it looks reddish in the sky, so Mars is sometimes called the
Red Planet.
- Mars has an extreme day-to-night temperature range, resulting from its thin
atmosphere, from about 80°F (27°C) at noon to about -100°F (-73°C)
at midnight; however, the high daytime temperatures are confined to less than
3 ft (1m) above the surface.
- In 1971 the Mariner 9 space probe discovered a huge canyon, Valles Marineris.
Completely dwarfing the Grand Canyon in Arizona, this canyon stretches for
2,500 miles (4,000 km) and at some places is 125 miles (200 km) across and
2 miles (3 km) deep.
- Mars also has numerous enormous volcanoes-including Olympus Mons (c. 370
miles/600 km in diameter and 16 miles/26 km tall), the largest in the solar
system-and lava plains.
- It is not known of any running water on Mars, but dry riverbeds on its surface
show that there possibly was water there long ago.
- Like Earth, Mars has ice at its North and South Poles.
- There are only a few clouds in the Martian sky. These are made of ice, so
rain does not fall.
- Strong winds whip up huge dust storms that sometim
