You're correct.Seems to me that a moon colony would be far more beneficial to the US and to humanity as a whole than simply visiting Mars then coming home.Uh, Gingrich wanted to COLONIZE the moon. Not simply visit it. The colonization part being the crucial weird ingredient. If you missed that, no wonder you are so clueless about the ordeal.
But then, I'm not an Obamabot.
Then you are on an island. At any rate, it misses the point.
To act like Gingrich and Obama made equivalent statements is simply dishonest.
And you guys know it.
Putting people on the moon would lead to space exploration.
going to Mars would be suicide for whoever went, unless they planned on building a base.
