Whoever can get up there and plant their flag on it.

Isn’t possession 9/10 of the law?
If there is some guy up there shakin’ his fist yelling “its mine!”, then I’d say it probably is.
Unless of course, we go chase him off.
Then its ours.

The Man Who Sold the Moon follows the machinations of Delos D. Harriman, "the first of the new robber barons," who is determined to reach and control the Moon. The story centers on Harriman's wheelings and dealings to accomplish his dream. "I," he tells his business partner, "would cheat, lie, steal, beg, bribe — do anything to accomplish what we have accomplished". Harriman's determination is rooted in his childhood desire to travel to the moon himself, but the responsibilities of running his financial empire may make this dream impossible.

PT Barnum said there is one born every minute. It looks like since he said that there has been 3.7 million of them born. You think maybe they are Democrats?

10 FR points to anyone who knows who D.D. Harriman is and what he did.

Who Owns the Moon? God.
Unless, of course, Ubama forecloses.

Five years at Harriman Hall and the young FReeper thinks he knows everything.

Requiem finishes Harriman's story. One of my favorite SF short-stories of all time.
