Claiming to inherit Mars from an ancestor, three men sued NASA for discovery without permission

Not only did they claim to own Mars, these three crazy-looking men also offered to sell land on a red planet with a low price of only $ 2 per square meter.

December 1996 marked a new step in the history of human exploration of the universe when the United States Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) successfully launched the first self-propelled robot (rover) to the surface of the star. fire.Sojourner , the self-propelled robot of the Mars Pathfinder, stopped working after 84 days, sending 16,500 photos, more than 8.5 million calculations of atmospheric pressure, temperature and wind.

In addition to the joys of the majority of public interest, there are some who are dissatisfied with NASA's work. Therefore, there was a rare lawsuit involving ownership of the Red Planet, but now everyone mentioned it to laugh.

In 1997, three men from Yemen, Adam Ismail, Mustafa Khalil, and Abdullah al-Umari filed a lawsuit to the court in the capital Sana'a. They wanted to sue NASA for violating their ancestral property - Mars.

'We inherited this planet from ancestors from more than 3000 years ago,' they shared with the Arab weekly Al-Thawri newspaper.

'Sojourner and Pathfinder, owned by the US government, landed on Mars and began to explore it without informing us or our approval,' the lawsuit filed.

The trio also presented legal documents out of nowhere, confirming their ownership of Mars.

Adam, Mustafa and Abdullah made statements based on family history, saying that they were descendants of Himyarites and Sabaeans, ethnic groups living in southern Arabia. According to legend, these lost civilizations have a total of seven temples on each planet in the solar system. The trio also presented legal documents out of nowhere, confirming their ownership of Mars.

In his request, Adam, Mustafa and Abdullah said they wanted NASA to suspend all activities related to Mars exploration or through their approval.

No one other than the prosecutor accepted the file that ever looked at the documents owned by those three men. However, the lawsuit was quickly put together with a deterrent to them that, if they continued to waste time with state officials with such games, they would have to pay the price of being in prison. . The prosecutor also said that both Adam, Mustafa and Abdullah had signs of 'not being normal'.

In fact, this is not the first case that claims to have extraterrestrial ownership.

In fact, this is not the first case that claims to have extraterrestrial ownership. There was a guy named Sylvio Langevin who once admitted he had full ownership of the entire planet in the solar system. Another strange guy named Dennis Hope said he owned the moon. Dennis claimed ownership in the 1980s, and said he sold more than 2 million acres of land on the moon for only $ 20 per sample.

The funny thing is that the story of the Yemeni trio has not stopped there. One year after being denied a claim, people still see them blatantly selling Red Planet for a cheap price, only $ 2 per square meter. They even stressed to the buyers that after payment is complete, they will have a proper certificate of ownership of the Martian land.
