Well, I find Maddow unwatchable. But I think, in this case, Gingrich is the one who's out to lunch. Other than a moon station being cool, what purpose would it serve? We should colonize other barren, lifeless places (like Detroit) before we colonize the moon.

Or Nacireman's head.

Actually there are resources, and even extractable oxygen. We NEED to get there (again), but we have to handle earth shit first. If China beats us, we're pretty fucked.

I think the odds of building a successful lunar colony are better than us being able to handle our "Earth $#!t."

Because we need somewhere to go when we finally f**k this place up beyond repair for one thing.

It will be a long time before we "f**k" this place beyond repair.

You're not that intelligent I take it?

Maybe, but again, right now it's ridiculous. Handle the debt, stop the wars, and have someone present the idea that doesn't look like a bald-faced Persian cat and we'll talk.

And of all the things to hate Rachel Maddow for.

yes lets spend millions of dollars to build a moon colony, instead of you know finding alternative methods for energy, or stopping deforestation, and pollution...

There is alternative energy on the moon. Helium 3 might one day solve a lot of our problems and it's more abundant there.

yes but spending the money to get there and hope it solves our problems, instead of trying to find earth based methods is kind of stupid..

And the same problems here will just happen on the moon.

" Okay we fucked up earth and the moon.....next stop Saturn!"

Wouldn't it be ironic if we all had to go live on Pluto?

You're seriously underestimating humanity's ability to f**k things up.

The same can be said about Welfare, public education, Social Security, etc.

are you really comparing helping the less fortunate with flying to the fucking moon?
