The United States will have a permanent manned colony on the moon by 2020 if Newt Gingrich is in charge Any questions?

Why does anyone assume that spending our tax money on a lunar base is a good thing? It's just another boondoggle - a form of corporate welfare no different than the green energy fiasco of 0bama.

I haven’t heard all he has to say about his proposed space program, but it is my understanding that he is wanting to give free enterprise and the private sector more of a seat at the table vis a vis funding.

Either we beat the chicoms and ivan there or we literally live under them. You do not want that reality to come to pass. Some of us learned from the cold war... here is a plan that a great man had, "WE WIN... THEY LOSE!". Reagan

That’s what they said after we bought Alaska after we just lost over 100,000 people and billions(in today’s money) of dollars fighting a civil war.

You're wrong. In addition to new discoveries, fantastic technology is designed to support space missions. Technology that carries over to the masses and is used and enjoyed by the world today.

Did you listen to Newt’s speech? Do you understand his remarks about prizes?

We are broke. If he wants to go to the moon. First do some basic things:

-Secure the borders
-Cut and balance the budget
-Reduce the national debt
etc.
