I think the problem we have here is that what Gingrich had proposed are private projects with NASA help. So, in the final analysis, you are vigorously protesting people using mostly their own money, to however they do so making a profit, doing something you disdain.
Which requires a lot of research on your part.
Nice liberal approach. Pretend I said something I didn't, and then argue against the lie that you attribute to me. Sorry Jack that just won't fly. What I object to is TAXPAYER money being thrown up a wild hog's ass. Since you have absolutely NO facts on your side, naturally you attack the messenger.
Let me say that the idea of a profitable moon base is a total science FICTION. There is no way in hell that it can be justified economically. Your poorly thought out ideas can be shown to be absurd with even the most superficial analysis - something that you obviously didn't bother to do. I understand that you don't want to admit that. Your ego gets in the way of your admitting the truth, so naturally you make up a lie and attribute it to me. Sorry liar, I'm NOT objecting to people spending their money. I'm objecting to the government spending peoples' money particularly on an utterly foolish idiocy like a moon base.
Oh and btw I notice that you were unable to respond to a single one of my points, but not to worry I knew that you wouldn't be able to. Stick to reading science fiction, because you're no good at scientific reality.
