A Chinese company has had its license suspended after it tried to make money by selling land on the moon.

The Beijing Lunar Village Aeronautics Science and Technology Co. managed to sell large swathes of pristine lunar property before being shut down.

The company, claiming to act on behalf of an entity referred to as the Lunar Embassy in China, charged 298 yuan for each acre (0.4 hectare) on the moon.

Each new owner of lunar soil was issued a "certificate" that ensured property ownership including rights to use the land and minerals up to three kilometres underground.

Li Jie, CEO of Lunar Embassy, said that 34 clients bought 49 acres (20 hectares) of land on the moon in the first three days after his company became operational last month.
