Newt’s Right: We Should Build A Permanent Moon Base – Forbes
This is about the DUMBEST thing I’ve heard a candidate say. Promising a moonbase to get votes? C’mon! Whatever happened to smaller government, lower taxes, debt reduction, etc. If there’s such a strong outpouring of support for extended space operations, let it coalesce in the private sector. Let space tourism expand from space flight to lunar mining, condos, amusement parks, whatever. No taxpayer money please! EE
