  • I think he fucked himself over for talking shit about the moon base i wouldnt vote for that asshole thier romney.

  • He should be saying that he will build one sooner.

  • @IndiaJacob - without vision, the people perish. This truth was written in a very old book.

  • @KiNGKoDeCKS - and besides, remember Columbus and Sir Francis Drake, and Captain Kirk.

  • @KiNGKoDeCKS - and besides, you will never know what is actually there until you go there and explore in depth.

  • @KiNGKoDeCKS - The hundreds of satellites that orbit earth beyond the atmosphere, the space station, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the Apollo missions, in transit, and while on the moon, did not, and do not, have any significant trouble with comet or asteroid collisions. The gravity issue is a problem. But problems don't get solved until people step up and try to solve them. The people who worked on the Apollo missions solved lots of problems (with God's help).

  • @HomewardBoundJournal That is not what I meant by "no atmosphere". Atmosphere acts as a shield. Why do you think the moon is filled with craters. Space debris hits it hard. They'd have to spend billions to repair Gingrich Moon Base 01 every month. People can't stay permanently in less than Earth gravity. Gingrich was talking a permanent place to live on the moon. Also why go to the moon? Nothing there.

  • The space program was responsible for the development of many common items we have today..

  • How is having a base on the moon on the moon gonna help anybody? This is so lame and pathetic!
