He got that from a David Brooks article that indicates Newt had thrown that idea out as an example of what physics could be used to accomplish a task, not necesarilly a “proposal”

Newt wants Americans to “charge” forward, while too many willingly believe those who are telling them we need to stand still and study it or say it’s too hard.
Others would slam progress in reverse “Al Gore” style.
Most are just too ignorant to understand the difference.
Other countries DO NOT have this anchor holding them down, but then they don’t have John P. Holdern [The Population Bomb] as the Science and Technology Czar guiding their decisions.
