We are a nation of pioneers and when we stop seeking to go to new lands, then we lose an essential part of what has made America great.
The Greedy New World order types dont want the people to know the amounts of money Space mining will be worth to Our Country.
Newts right on.
I just read this morning that China plans on colonising the moon.
Is Gingrich so fare fetched with his plan.
Are we ready to say to the Chinese that they can have the moon free and clear?
America is a leader in the space race, or it was before Obamalamadingdong.
We could still be a leader if we stop letting half of America sit on their ass ,not working, while the other half is bled dry.
Apollo and the U.S. moon landings riveted the world. It actually was a positive, exciting and emotional coming together of people around the world --- and because it was Americans doing it. The ideological makeup of those who conquer the moon again or next, will make a huge political statement. The fact that the U.S. did land men on the moon, gave huge credibility to SDI and why the USSR bankrupted themselves trying to compete with "Star Wars," and why if China succeeds now and we fall back the world will change for the worse.
Newt was my choice before his space speech, but now I kinda have a man crush(non gay of course). I have been into astronomy since I was a kid and Newt is the first to give me hope for our future in space.
The naysayers put forth the fact that we have more pressing problems on earth, but he laid out a plan that doesn’t rely as much on the taxpayer as much as private entrepreneurs.
Also I believe a Gingrich administration would open up unprecedented financial growth.
