You know something about business.
Would you put your own money into a development of a manned moon colony because Newt said it’s a national security (????) issue?
With the price of gas skyrocketing you think the moon will become a tourist trap to return your investment?

I want the penthouse, with a view of The Big Crater.

Only problem I see is the 12,800,000.00 in fuel to go buy groceries at Safeway....

I will repost my links, which do not even mention Newt Gingrich, and, were you truly interested in understanding or researching the subject, there are many technical and foreign policy articles on the subject of moon colonies, none of which have to do with tourism, okay? I don't mean to deprive you of your oxygen of misstatements, unfounded truth, and downright falsehoods, but facts are facts, even the inconvenient ones.

That's all for now. I only spend so much time in discussion with santorum supporters, too stubborn, too sanctimonious, too stupid, too blind. I hope you understand.

"Russia is talking with the US and Europe on plans to create a manned research base on the moon, the head of the Russian space agency Roscosmos said Thursday. Roscosmos is discussing the possibilities for a permanent moon base with officials from NASA and the European Space Agency, the agency's chief, Vladimir Popovkin said.

"We don't want man to just step on the moon," Popovkin told Vesti FM radio station, according to the Ria Novosti news agency. "Today, we know enough about it, we know that there is water in its polar areas ... we are now discussing how to begin [the moon's] exploration with NASA and the European Space Agency."

He said the plan was either to set up a base on the moon or launch a station to orbit around it. Russia also is planning to send two unmanned mission to the moon by 2020, Popovkin said."
