Gingrich is really starting to get stuck in my craw. The only reason this whole Moon thing came up is because he's campaigning in Florida, home of Cape Canaveral. He's starting to get in the way and if he's ever nominated, it will be another four years of Obama.
I'm as big a proponent of the space program as you'll find, but establishing a colony on the moon is fantasy until the economy is fixed and insane government spending is brought under control.
