Newt Gingrich Promises a Moon Base by the End of His Second Term

Newt Gingrich is pandering to the Florida aerospace industry hit hard by the curtailing of the space program, but come on. A moon base would be cool.

Maybe we could even establish a colony there. Send Ron Paul in a rocket and he and his followers can finally have somewhere safe when civilization crumbles for them to do their thing. You cannot get more isolated than the Sea of Tranquility.
