THere aren’t hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars and Newt very well knows that.
He isn’t willing to borrow from China for that...he understands that China is a potential threat.
China believes in space warfare, therefore I see Newt as wanting to counter that. As of now we have nothing.
The idea in general of continuing in space exploration and activity is good, even essential, in this dangerous world.
The specifics can be tweaked.
I will await further reveals from Newt before condemning it and him.
Because even if he turned out to be wrong on this, he is still by far the best candidate.
I support Newt as well. I was just pointing out that he can’t just blame Romney for his drop in the polls. He’s got some self-inflicted wounds as well.
