I've never understood buying someone a star, or a plot of land on the moon. It's a useless piece of paper since that individual has no claim to it, but at least its stupidly sentimental. I suppose a star is romantic of sorts, and the moon has a real ethereal beauty. You can find and look at these and go "Oh, a piece of paper you paid someone £25

There is also the problem of commercial space travel too :-P Even if it was another Earth still wouldn't make sense ;-)

True. All in all I hope I never get something like this for Christmas, lest I go on a 15 minute tirade against it :p

It was out tonight. Amazing. I got the binoculars out to show it to my class, then accosted any teacher that walked past. They didn't seem quite as impressed as me that they were looking at another *world*!

The moon on a stick.
