“Speaking to a yet another massive crowd in Cocoa Beach, on Florida’s space coast, Gingrich ditched his stump speech and offered his vision of an ambitious new space program. ”By the end of my second term,” Gingrich said, prompting the crowd to erupt in applause, “we will have the first permanent base on the moon and it will be American.”
When he was in the House, he authored a bill that would allow a lunar colony to apply for statehood once it reached 13,000 residents.
I met a gentleman in the audience who told me he had worked on Gingrich’s Congressional staff and helped with the bill, which was called a Northwest Territory Ordinance for Space. The man told me the bill would have allowed space colonies with over 20,000 people to apply for recognition as a US territory.”
I think the scariest part of this whole thing is he may actually have a chance. Really? THIS is who we see leading the free world? A vote for Obama (or Romney, or Paul, or Santorum) is a vote AGAINST moon colonies. So think through that... think through it very carefully.

Interesting since he has also said he plans on cutting funds to NASA. How do you think they're supposed to get to the moon if you do that Newt?
I want to live on the moon!!! But I still think I want to vote for Romney cause he's dreamy like a Kennedy. :-) Everyone knows pretty people are better at everything!
Thus why you and I are so accomplished Ms. Steele ;)
