I agree mostly, but I feel Newts thinking on Nasa is by far the best.
I think Newt would gain much more ground "if" he would push for mining corperations to get into the business of moon, mars and astroids. This way not only would we get many spin off from putting men on both, but also would start going after resources and growing our wealth.
If you think that the only place that has resources and wealth is earth. Then I feel sorry for you because space has a 9.0x10^100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times the resources then this little planet.
Worried about fresh water? Well, the asterioid belt and europa are a few places with fresh water that would last thousands of years!
Worried about running out of mentals---Moons, asteriods have it.
There is unimaginable gold, diamond, iron, ect to be mined.
Who's to say that we couldn't make it profitable.
If I was newt, I'd do this, but then allow a science lab on the mining base. A town or city could be built around it. You can't do that until you can make a profit and have a job to do so. So this fixes many things.
If humanity is going to go to the stars this is the way we must do it.
Now Mathew, I am willing to bet that Newtie promised all of his wives the moon.
