Yeah, just go to Mars. Don't think about how you are going to do it, don't plan or make calculations... just do it! Hup hup hup... I'm off to Mars! See you in a week.

[AskDrNewt]

I'm a doctor in newtology, and I have to say...you don't look much like a newt. lol thanks for the vid

I have been screaming for years that NASA IS worthless. Yes they brought forward the technology for cellphones and other inventions, but in the past decade they have done nothing at the cost of americans hard earned tax dollars. The space industry should not be a government funded agency. And dont say national defense, we have a highly funded air defense in the form of the airforce intelligence community. END NASA

[CountArtha]

If I'm not mistaken, NASA gets less than 1% of the annual budget. It's really phenominal that a federal agency can do so much with so little.

I think McCain is easier to comprehend.

I'm for security. I thought Newt is more popular than McCain. I've been seeing higher ranking.

[Galaor55]

If Newt Gingrich wants to extend the US invasion of Iraq he should go there and volunteer to be a truck/ hummvee convoy driver. It's easy for him to bark like a mad dog about staying in Iraq because he doesn't have to worry about being blown up by a road side bomb

[apromoterofgod]

Not everybody is a ditch digger. Do you think apostle Paul would want to kill murdering terrorists?

[Aeronomer]

I don't remember Paul having much to say about how *governments* should conduct themselves.

[eclecticEel]

Have to agree 100% on this one. Newt in '08 (I can only dream).

[MissouriPA]

Exactly Yairio! What other politician do you know of that has spent his own money when he could spend yours? Especially when it ruined his rep. unjustly as proven by the ingorant comments still being made. Compare his 1st 100 days to Pelosi's hype. 26 bills she managed to get thru, most of which were renaming old federal buildings. Nothing significant...

[Yairio]

He wasn't found guilty and paid to cover the costs of the investigation.

[falstoffe]

The Mars Prize--why are people against the idea of trying? If no one wins, then no public sector money is lost.

[pbilger]

This is just another way for Newt to steal money from the American People. It's just a Tax scheme like all the others he had. 300,000 dollars with worth of bounce Checks. He is a lier, theif and a bigot.

[MissouriPA]

If it's private sector money, and Newt doesn't currently serve as an elected official, then how is he going to manage to steal money from the American People? You mispelled liar and thief, and I can't wait for you to tell us all how any of this is bigotry.

[pbilger]

The Think tanks get money from the Feds. They use our tax dollars to fund their projects. Most of their schemes are things Americans would not paid for

if they knew. Here is one back in 2003, "How to keep Independence from voting Dem?"

[pbilger]

"The faliure of citizenship in the Ninth Ward, where 22,000 people were so uneductaed and so unprepared, they literrally counldn't get out of the way of a hurricane." Newt after Katrine

My friend was their with her great Aunt and she nor her Aunt are educated, By the way they aren't black.

[Yairio]

They apparently weren't educated enough to get out of the way of Katrina.

[pbilger]

Your stupid. There were 60, 70, and 80 years oid people that didn't have a way out. 32 of these older people die at the stadium from no water. I bet you wouldn't say the 18 that die in Fl was stupid. Sounds to be you are a bigot.

[MissouriPA]

Ray Nagin is to blame for that. He had plenty of opportunities to evacuate HIS city. It is his job to have emergencey plans in place and to enact them. He sent away an AMtrak train empty after it offered to take people to safety. There were buses sitting empty as well. The governor failed 2ndly to compensate for his failure.

[pbilger]

Your so full of it and you know it. The President close the roads after and wouldn't even drop water or food to these people. Quit being so stupid.

[jt6050]

Your logic or information makes no sense. A 16 year old kid stole a school bus during the flood and drove a bunch of people to Houston. The roads were not closed. The president doesn't have power to close the roads. The national guard was still under the local Governor's control.

[pbilger]

Check Blackwater on youtube you will see.

[apromoterofgod]

I'm someone else. 

I'm going to take ur work for it.

[plbilger]

Newt block me from getting out the truth--don't take my word for it see for yourself---I find the Rep don't care about the truth--That's the only reason Newt would of block me from all his video's. Nothing I said wasn't the truth--you can find all the info on youtube. CK blackwater if you don't know who and what they are.

[enotdetcelfer]

Maybe its not so much that he doesn't like truth but that you're spamming your paradigms where they don't apply.. Imagine what would happen if you stood up in the middle of a movie and started telling everyone in the theater that the majority of the hijackers on 9/11 were from saudi arabia, that george bush was briefed on the possibility of planes being used etc. The place could be packed with 911 truthers and you'd still get kicked out pretty fast.

[pbilger]

Ethics probe 1996--Hose formally repimanded Newt and fined him $300,000 for using Tax exempt funds to promote Republicna goals and giving the ethics committee unture (LIE) informantion about it. Newt was the first Speaker to be punished by the House. This is why he had to step down. What to see his full history essential (dot) org / orgs / CAP / ethics / jonereo2 (dot) html #N_22_

[koryo06]

Nice speech Newt. Very true stuff. Too bad most politicians today don't get it.

[RedRules4Real]

Seems somebody has been watching too much Sci-Fi channel. The technology to go to Mars doesn't exist. Do you actually believe the private sector could get to Mars sooner than 20 years at 1/10th the cost or would suck up $180B? If so, I have a time machine to sell you...

[ma131tt]

Even today $20 bn is a hell of a lot of money. And if anyone can do, Sir Richard Branson can. He managed to break the atlantic monopoly of United Airlines and BA for Virgin Atlantic alone. He has a profitable british train company (that is something I can tell you). If you put the prize out there people will try, they'll not all have the same ideas, and they'll build models for NASA to incorporate in future space vehicles. But you're right, it's unlikely they'll do it for only $20 bn

[ma131tt]

See that the beauty of saying opposing things at once. Can I run for president? I'm as american as George Washington

[Yairio]

Even if they can't do it, it would likely spur innovation, technologies, etc. Very desirable in a competitive world. And assuming that the same amount of money is spend as a ratio to the prize as the first space prize... they'd spend $400 billion. Not likely to happen, but, hey, who knows?

[ma131tt]

Worth a try anyway.

[Maxwedge12000]

You did not listen. Newt mentioned the X-prize offered 10 million dollars to be the first private firm to get into sub-orbital space and return and the private sector spent over 200 million dollars to do it. It is the challenge that will draw vastly more money then the proposed 20 billion dollar prize.

[VonHelton]

"The technology to go to Mars doesn't exist" ^^^

Um, excuse me. Click on my name & go watch my vids & find out how wrong you are.

:D

[Yairio]

Good job Newt!

[nanite1018]

I read this proposal in Robert Zubrin's book "The Case for Mars", but it said that as of then (1997) you had abandoned it. I hope that you've taken it up again, compete with the $10 billion in smaller prizes for smaller teams to win. I've been waiting for it, and this is real change! If you run for president, this'll clinch my vote!

[nanite1018]

You should put this video on the Winning the Future group.
