I love the idea. A moon base will not fill our bellies, build us a new kitchen, help us surf the web faster or allow us to have more and better orgasms. It’s just exploration, adventure and opening a new frontier to all of Mankind. That’s something that America used to do.
On the one hand, I would dearly love for their to be a moonbase. I've even spent time coming up with useful technology for extracting oxygen for one (see US Patent No. 4,997,533 - that's one of mine).
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, Mr. "I've got an idea every minute!" Gingrich strikes me as having the attention span of a gnat, so I don't trust him to follow through on it.
