Alga Crater, Mars

Own a piece of Mars.

Choose a specific 64-meter square of real Martian ground — real coordinates, real elevation, a place you can point to on a map. Mars Territory signs a Quit Claim Deed assigning you whatever claim it holds in that ground today, and any claim it ever acquires.

It is not land title; nobody can sell that for Mars. It is a recorded, verifiable assignment of every claim we hold or ever will.

What you are actually buying

The claim

Mars Territory LLC and the Mars Territory Irrevocable Trust sign a Quit Claim Deed assigning you their present claims in your parcel, and any claim either of them ever acquires in it. If a claim to Martian land ever reaches them — by treaty, legislation, settlement, or a route nobody has thought of yet — it attaches to your parcel automatically. No new paperwork, no further payment, nothing for you to do.

The honest part

Nobody on Earth can sell governmental or internationally recognized title to Mars today, and we claim no sovereignty over any part of it. The deed assigns our claims, whatever they turn out to be worth. The chance they come to mean more is very small, and no one can honestly put a number on it. What you hold is a real position in that possibility, kept in a record built to outlast the website that sold it.

Since 2007

Mars Territory has sold Mars ownership experiences since 2007: quit claims and virtual property in a Google Earth overlay then, and now a ledger built on ground mapped from orbit.

What a parcel comes with

Walk your parcel

An illustrative rendering: the ground's shape is the surveyed elevation; the texture and the figure are stand-ins.

Every parcel's page has a 3D view of its ground, built from the survey's real elevation. Click in and walk it.

A Roblox game on these same parcels is under development, so the square you hold is the square you will walk there too. A game can make your parcel visible; the Ledger is what makes it yours.

How buying works

  1. Choose a parcel and read what its deed assigns and what it does not convey.
  2. Check out — the parcel is held for you for a short time while you pay through our payment provider's secure checkout. Mars Territory never sees your card.
  3. The parcel is recorded to you when the payment clears. The Ledger records you as its holder, 10% of the price goes to the Mars Territory Trust, and your holder account is made under the email address you gave at checkout.
  4. Your Quit Claim Deed is issued once both grantors have executed it through authorized representatives. You are told when it is ready, and it carries a verification code anyone can check.

The 10%

Ten cents of every dollar Mars Territory receives goes to an irrevocable trust that can only pay out to organizations advancing Mars exploration and settlement. Money that goes in cannot come back to us. The Trust page names the beneficiary and shows what is in the account.
