I bought some acres of moon from a web-site. Is it just a fake or do I really own those pieces of moon?

Some years ago I bought some acres of moon from a website:

http://www.lunarregistry.com/info/faq_a.shtml

I always thought it was just something fun like naming the stars in the sky as a present but recently on tv I heard people talking about it as if it's something serius.

Do I really own these acres of moon? Will my nephews be able to claim it in the future for their use?

Update:

Eeheheh wait wait... when I bought it I perfectly knew that it was just for fun to a present to some friends :) It's just now that some people on tv begun to really talk about it as a serius thing..

    If the company you bougt it from agrees to make a moon army to lay claim to the moon and fight off the Americans, Chinese and any other countries that want in than you may be in luck. If not I would say that the moon is first come first serve to any government. Then they might sell some of to private parties. People saying that the moon cannot be sold are wrong. Of course it can be once someone claims it. It is land just as other land is land. Wouldn't it be the same situation as when Europeans first came to America.

    It's a legitimate business but also tongue-in-cheek. Any number of irrelevant books and documents are in the Library of Congress. All that means is that the LOC has a copy of the company's list in some form or other. Or in other words, it has a Library of Congress Catalog Classification Number. What you are actually buying is a genuine novelty certificate with no force of law. They also sell real estate on the deeper parts of the ocean floor, and the International Star Registry names distant stars after you, the kind of stars with names like NC 2388 or 76 Fornax. (They even send you a locator chart, in case you inherit an observatory.) But no official agency pays any attention to them.

    Nobody owns the moon so no one can sell it. Although we did land on it in spite of what some people with Zero1 IQs think. As to the flag "waving" in a vacuum, it only moved when it was being touched.

    You don't own any part of the moon. It's either a scam or a joke (leaning towards a scam).

    Better business bureau has a write-up of them.

    Moon is one among those considered as beyond the commerce of men, hence it could not be subject for sale. Nobody owns it, the sale NULL and VOID.

    it is a legal binding document, but who's to say honestly whether or not you bought a real acre of the moon. Whose right is it to sell that as property anyways...

    Your ownership of the moon in no way detracts from the folks who own the Federal Reserve. They can get their paws on their assets. But what about you?

    Maybe we can exile Hillary to the moon? I wonder if she can withstand the radiation barrier or if she'll ever find the US flag waving in a vacuum in outerspace. I love trick video more than Cheap Trick.

    I wouldn't mind reading whatever contract you might have on your moon real estate.

    Do you have the title deeds? Did the seller have the right of entitlement to sell? It seems a bit of a scam to me. Nodbody

    can sell something for which they have no claim to.

    Anything above the ground and\or below the ground a certain amount feet can not be sold. Who would own it ? ( the moon that is )

    I can't even think of a smart retort for this amount of gullibility.
