Meanwhile, the LSM and Fox are acting like this is some irrelevant idea out of the blue which serves no purpose. Kinda reminds me of Reagan and the Star Wars meme.
Well the science and even sci-fi types are appalled that we are lagging and losing out. It’s so obvious o is out to destroy America.
Fox news this am cut guy off just as he was trying to make the point about kids, inspiration, and education amid much scowling and rapid arm waving.
Then fox moved on to the really important stuff ... /s

Much of the hardware is already designed. There is a private company with a functioning space station module already in space. For an already determined and advertised fee, they will build a larger station to suit.
In old Engineering News Record’s there are articles describing moon base structures of several designs for various purposes. There is at least one private company with vehicles capable of reaching beyond the earth
Newt is right. We have already much of the necessary technology available in private hands. The project is doable
Then there are China and Japan. Why go alone? Why not have some collaboration? We have all sorts of American/foreign design and construction joint ventures to carry out all sorts of projects.
All of the countries involved know the process and could just as easily ficus on the moons as the far deserts of Mongolia. Such consortia of multinational joint ventures built Saudi Arabia and Kuwait and soon Iraq.
Newt is hated and dangerous because he thinks. No one else has his vision. He could lead the process of culling the nonthinkers and cleansing the system
I think that is a far better analogy. When Kennedy announced plans to go to the moon, I don't recall anyone ridiculing him.
The response to SDI, which is now essentially operational btw, was more like the way the einsteins here and elsewhere are ridiculing newt's idea.
Wonder why they aren't here, dissing the Chinese?
