http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/future_tense/2012/01/newt_gingrich_s_moon_colony_and_mars_plan_.html
"Newt Gingrich described himself as a visionary when he unveiled plans Wednesday to create a mammoth new space program, including a permanent colony on the moon within the next nine years. Within eight years, he pledges a new Mars rocket program—specifically, a “continually operating propulsion system) capable of getting to Mars within a remarkably short time.†He also reiterated his plan to declare at least part of the moon as U.S. territory, with colonists capable of petitioning for statehood status."

Honestly, I'd love to see at least the beginnings of colonization of the moon in my lifetime.

Yes in one of the debates he said he would have a permanent colony on the moon by the end of his second term.
Pretty sure of himself.
15 trillion in debt and he wants to find new ways to spend more.
A true conservative.

How can he pay for all that? I'm for it of course but lets be realistic.
If you want to cut the budget things like that will have to be cut too

Of course he can pay for it. He plans to use poor people as fuel for the space ships and under his guidance, the US will have an unlimited supply of poor people.
Effing brilliant!

I'm for a space colony too but when you cry about public health care, cry about the debt, advocate zero capital gains tax, expand the military, keep tax rates super low, and then say you can get a space colony going within 8-9 years.... 
The GOP is a joke.
Basically we're killing NASA's budget now so he'd have to expand them like crazy to achieve that. And in that timeframe... realism is thrown out the door here.

Newt is desparate to become president. He almost seems psychotic about it the way he is lashing out at Romney. I bet he would sell his soul for the presidency.

Pretty much. It is complete pandering pie in the sky crap. A Moon base at this time is whack jobbery all things considered. And, I am not anti-science, just the opposite.

If US economy was 15 ON SURPLUS I could see it happen but when governments bank balance is that much on minus, it wont happen unless Newt reinstates slavery.

We needed to get to the Moon first to see what was there.
At present, there is no reason to go back. There will be one day but doing so won't serve any current purpose.
