Bodh Gaya, India: A man from Bihar bought one-acre land on the moon to celebrate his birthday.
Well, that’s a new way to celebrate your birthday.
Neeraj Kumar, a resident of Bihar’s Bodh Gaya, becomes the first person in Bodh Gaya to purchase land on the moon.
He said that he had always wanted to go to the moon, but because this was not possible, he ended up buying land.
Kumar also said that the amount he paid was not much, however, the process was.
During an interview with ANI, he said:
In the news, we saw many big people like Shah Rukh Khan, recently deceased actor Sushant Singh Rajput, and others who bought land on the moon, after which I started collecting information about it. I came to know about the online sale and purchase of land on the moon by a US society ‘Luna Society International’.
He added:
Then I contacted the society through Google and applied for one acre of land in October of 2019. I had given around Rs. 48,000 at that time … money was converted from Indian rupees to dollars. After a lot of online paperwork, I got a message on July 4, 2020, that my deed had been completed.
When ANI asked him if he would go to the moon if given a chance, he answered:
If I get a chance, I would love to go to the moon.
I can’t even afford land on Earth, Moon is still far far away.
