The Day In 100 Seconds: Fly Me To The Moon

[annarboriter]

So does Gingrich's moonbase get built before or after Bush's plan to send people to Mars?

[fwefwefqsd]

listen I am an engineer, and i am explaining to u that if we do not fund technology programs, we would still be in the stone ages. If you want to feed people, then give to charity.. its as simple as that. This moon idea is important as the spin-off technologies would benefit people.

[snappycatchy]

Literally a lunatic.

[awerner2007]

but, i wanna have a moon base :(

[boumar19721972]

Gingrich: "Moon, M-O-O-N!"

[MethodicalMadness]

Newt showing himself to be a true moonbat.

[hejcoze]

Helium-3.

Newt is insane and doesn't know what he's talking about. But right people could do it and potentially help this dying piece of rock.

[MooseOfReason]

President Obama made the blueprint cover blue. That guy is clever.

[TrollBuster9090]

You're pissing up the wrong tree, Steve. Obviously no Fox viewers saw Ferris Bueller's Day off. If they had, they'd have seen Ben Stein explaining that Laffer Curve supply side economics is also known as Voo Doo Economics, and that the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act was a Republican bill that made the Depression worse while Hoover was President, not FDR. (As opposed to FDR's "Hoot-Smalley" Act, as Michelle Bachmann called it during a speech on the House floor.)

[petehjr1]

@TrollBuster9090 Anyone? Anyone? It Made it Worse.

[TrollBuster9090]

@petehjr1 It's hard to believe Ben Stein ever had that much hair.

[MartianStories]

Regardless of what the braindead presstitutes think (well, they never think, but whatever), Newt is in fact the only person in this election with actual vision. A moonbase is exactly what we do need. It makes every other issue in the debate completely irrelevant. I'm a liberal. I hate Gingrich's guts. I voted for Obama.

I'd vote for Newt, if he actually stuck to his guns on this.

The rest of the debate will not matter in 100 years. And it may be that the only humans living then will be on Luna.

Whitefolks want to spread their psychopathic madness into the immaculate womb of the universe.

[420gma]

@TheSupremewisdom Not all whitefolks are bad neither are all blackfolks or any other group.Lets all just go there in peace.

[TheSupremewisdom]

@420gm It's hard as hell to tell. People are starving to death and this pig is talking about a moon colony. Please.

[420gma]

@TheSupremewisdom  Yes newt is a pig in so many ways ! Right now I agree feed our people !! If we didn't have the wars and our government giving all our money to the rich this country would be in a totally different place right now.One thing that would make a big difference is getting rid of the citizens united ruling so these corporate pigs can't buy our politicans. Peace and Love :)

@TheSupremewisdom

Neil Armstong and the moon...................A dog and a lamppost

[TheSupremewisdom]

@petarphyle LOL!

[fwefwefqsd]

@TheSupremewisdom People always die from hunger.. That has been the case throughout history. The only thing we can do as a species is invest in science and technology so that hopefully in the future we can solve the underlying problems. There is a correlation between investment in science and progress.

[TheSupremewisdom]

@fwefwefqsd Wow, did you figure that out all by yourself? People TODAY are starving because of the greed and stupidity of leadership. Not because of a lack of resources. Last I checked, america was the fattest nation in the world. There is nothing to solve in terms of food. I'm talking about priorities. Going to the moon is not one of mine.

[noobkillinhannible]

great the world leaders wanna go to the moon.... oh no not the actual moon just do lines of coke

[TrollBuster9090]

@noobkillinhannible I think Noot was just doing his Ralph Kramden impersonation.  "Bang, zoom...to the moon!"

[noobkillinhannible]

@TrollBuster9090 LMAO

[canu2u]

What is so laughable about a moon base ? Back in the 70's when I was growing up, a moon base was considered the next step in the exploration of space. Is greed the only thing people in this country find satisfying? I swear, how in the hell did this country go from landing on the moon and the pursuit of science to debating whether or not talking snake stories should be taught in school. It just makes me want to pull my hair out and scream.

[kaysandesses]

@canu2u "I swear, how in the hell did this country go from landing on the moon and the pursuit of science to debating whether or not talking snake stories should be taught in school."

I think your questions is rhetorical, but for those hwo don't know the answer Google The Moral Majority, and study about their decades long assault on science and education.

[MartianStories]

@canu2u Amen. I'm right there with you. It's a mark of how close to extinction this civilization is. If Newt had said: "Vote for me if you want a free DVD of Desperate Housewives of NY!" every one of these imbeciles would be wearing Gingrich buttons.

And its the best reason to go to the moon. To get away from the illiterate, mindless, blind, arrogant, greedy clusterfuck that this doomed country (and world) has become.

[FDASARO]

Since when was space exploration and going to other planets considered crazy? People just think too much in the short-term these days

[420gma]

@FDASARO A lot of people don't think it's crazy .But we've already been to the moon. Lets go to Mars instead !

[FDASARO]

@420gma

It would be easier to establish ourselves on the moon first because it would serve as a very good launch pad to Mars (less gravity/atmosphere to deal with)

[SpartanOnFire]

@FDASARO While that's true, the moon is not as productive to life or easy to terraform as Mars. In a perfect world I'd like to see both.

[420gma]

@SpartanOnFire It's great to see so much interest in space exploration.It's a fascinating subject.

[tehcexymeowmix]

I'll vote for whoever promises a moon base. I'll grow some crazy space weed out there.

[TrollBuster9090]

@tehcexymeowmix

Ed Straker called and left a message. He said the silver, tinsel catsuits and purple wigs are ready for Newt's moon base mistresses.

[Daydream2142]

Geez this is depressing..

[dennist3hmenace]

I'm sure we'll have a settlement on the moon eventually. But thanks to our current batch of politicians and world leaders, it won't come 'til after WW3.

[peopleplacethings]

Everything they make fun of or deny they are already doing

[AKSBSU]

Good to see the MSM keeping us informed about the most important issues.

[exsinor]

Newt has been reading way too much science fiction.

[bleunt]

Third.
