Yep, possible right it looks like it was set up so the media could influence the voting before SC. But it is only 50 so it is really not a game changer. In hindsight Newt should have never talked about the moon ect. He can be made to look cooky on that. Nobody cares about going to the moon.
I like his Idea of putting up money for space because new developments would possible come from it. I think however it was a terrible mistake. Hopefully not.
I have engineering friends who have worked in Florida.
Eventually, private enterprise will do more and more in this field. So many facets to it.
Sputnik was a terrible embarrassment. The space station is no longer USA!! Disgusting.
Speak for yourself. To quote Luke Skywalker, I care. It was one of the most amazing, formative moments of my youth, realizing we had been able to put human footprints on the Moon. The space program demanded solutions to seemingly impossible problems. Miniaturization of transistors led to electronic calculators and the first generation of home computers. Think how different our present world would be if we had not taken that dare. I think Newt was right to appeal to our natural impulse to reach ever higher. Remarkable achievement is the hallmark of the America I grew up in and came to love, and the antidote to the deadly slumber of socialist mediocrity that now threatens us. So I say yes, Newt, take us to the Moon again.
