can a Newt support please justify the feasibility of his desire for a sound commodity backed monetary policy and his desire to colonize the moon in 8 years?
Not nearly as extravagent as Romney will be supporting the Obamacare plan. You don't really believe he'll repeal it do you? That program will likely end up costing as much as a trip to Vulcan.
Its possible.....but just for a sec think about, the importance of establishing a moon colony (regardless if its Newt, Obama, left, right or whatever)
I know it's far off but bear with me..Whichever political entity controls the moon, potentially has an unbeatable weapon
Has anyone read Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. In the book, hydroponically grown wheat is shipped from the moon to earth. Bear in mind, the energy expenditure from the moon to the earth is much less than earth to moon. Cargo is launched from the moon with an electromagnetic catapult. When the colony gets pissed off and revolts, they bomb earth, particularly Cheyenne Mountain, with rocks. You simply cut out a large rock, slap a steel band around it for the magnet to grab. Gravity does the rest and it hits the earth at 10/12 km/s, releasing energy comparable to a small nuke.
And that my friends, is one of the fears of moon colonization. Hmmm...What if the Chinese get there first????
I hear u but at the moment...we do not posses the technology to keep our astronauts alive period.

all I know is that for a trillion we have floated a couple hundred rich billionares to keep on flying around to their exotic vacation resorts. At a couple billion per space shuttle, would have built a fleet of 500 of those, or perhaps built dozens of moon launch vehicles and had easily colonized either the moon or mars. Instead we are left with economic ****. Yeah, face value Newt sounds ridiculous... but I'd personely have added millions to the workforce and gotten something outta it then what we got, and that is even ewithout realistic government spending which would have doubled the number... ok just double my 1st number... or perhaps fix pretty much all the rest of our earthly problems.... change a couple hunded billionaires can believe in....

In my opinion refunding NASA and space exploration is a very good idea as it develops new technologies.
I'm absolutely fine with that as soon as someone comes up with a way to pay for it.
Shift it from the military and all the political-green energy graft for starters. It might even be more worthwhile than funding studying Chinese prostitutes.

So...where do I go to purchase property on the moon? I want in on this...
Oh, and I'd be happy if my taxes went towards manned space exploration (to see something tangible for my tax dollars like astronauts on Mars or the like)
The too hard, too dangerous, too inconvenient, too expensive crowd can stay back here and continue in the same vicious circle of cultural debauchery while the earth burns up (or freezes) and the rest of us go out and conquest the galaxies
