I'm not a Newt fan by any means. And, for him to say this, with the economy sliding down hill faster than a penguin on a glacier into the water. In normal times, I would applaud some thing like this, as quite abite of todays technology came from the space program. But I doubt if we'll ever see in our lifetimes, when we could put a space program on that high of expectations. gypsyman

The work to do this would put American's back to work . Where the $$$$$ would come from is another matter. It would put us back on top as far as technology goes. The space program did much to improve our lives from new pipes to heart surgery more so than anything else since I have been on earth so cutting him down for suggesting it seem unfair.
 He has many things that he can be criticized for with out using one of his few good ideas.
If ya can see it ya can hit it !

Agreed, the suggestion of a new space program is definitely better, than Barry's closing of the space shuttle program, and it's mass layoffs.  The money as I stated, can come from getting rid of all of Barry's easy cash programs.

Dont  use   my  tax   dollar   for  more  pie  in  the  sky   space   exploration   .   Nothing   gets  me  hotter   under   the  collar. If   Newt   wants   to  go   to  into   the  universe  he  needs   his  own   privetly   funded   rocket   lab.

x10 mcbammer! If they want to build rockets, the required range is only as far as the impact/detonation area.

If the purpose of a moon colony were to move all libs up there, I'm for it--no matter what it costs.

I  know  Newt  is   pandering   for   the  NASA   employees   vote  for   the  Florida  primary.   But   he  is   wrong   on   this  moon   colony  B S.   we  have  been  there  an  done that. Its  time  to   put   all   efforts   into   more   serious   problems  here.  THE   Cleons   are  in  the   Whitehouse  not  on  the  moon.
