Domino's plans pizza on the Moon

[Jazzy]

Domino's pizza has announced plans to conquer the final frontier by opening the first pizza restaurant on the Moon.

Domino's Japanese arm has proposed a branch on Earth's nearest galactic neighbour is the latest escalation in a pizza publicity war.



Rival chain Pizza Hut set the bar high in 2001 by delivering a pizza to astronauts orbiting the Earth in the International Space Station, but Domino's fought back last year in a series of events to mark the 25th anniversary of its arrival in Japan.



In December, the company paid one person Y2.5 million (£20,046) to work for one hour delivering pizzas.



The competition has been taken beyond the stratosphere now, however, with construction firm Maeda Corp coming up with a plan for a dome-shaped concrete Domino's restaurant on the surface of the moon.



The company estimates the entire project will cost Y1.67 trillion - some £13.4 billion - of which Y560 billion (£4.5 billion) will be required to transport 70 tons of construction materials and pizza-making equipment to the moon aboard 15 rockets.

This is just total insanity ! All that money being wasted on this ridiculous

stupidity when it could be better spent on the poor and needy.

This has got to be a hoax - surely !

That's a job I'd like to apply for!

Yea me too, as long as it doesn't involve going to the moon !

That would be one heck of a commute every day!

A few years ago Google did a bit about how they were going open a server farm on the moon.

I bet that's where Domino's got the idea.





Or maybe they saw a musical sci-fi story about a bunch of Real Lunatics from 2001...

Figures a private company would build the first moon base... Don't think they'll get a lot of customers though.
