In order to move further out in space we need to develop the technology required to live in hostile environments. The moon is a good place to do just that and is relatively close enough for a rescue if things go wrong.
going back to the moon makes perfect sense. the idea shouldn't be dismissed just because the nutty professor knows that. he would be all about feeding the military industrial complex. we need to do better than that. to save ourselves from extinction we need lots of people living off the earth. that is what the mail goal should be.
It doesn't matter what country they come from, considering the demographic I'm guessing the first moon colony will be speaking either Klingon or Elvish.
its not going to matter who paid for the colony... in fairly short order they will realize that their existence is greatly enhanced working together. there will be an incident of some sort and all the colonies no matter where they are from will form a government and that will be that.
Yea, and you've been trained by Conservative Fox News or Rush Limpdork, I'm guessing. Like Global Warming is a conspiracy, too, huh? What do all those reputable scientists have to gain by telling a lie to the whole world? 70 % of Europeans accept Climate change as a real problem that requires our immediate attention, mostly because they aren't constantly lied to by their news outlets. The Fairness Doctrine was a needed set of guidelines for honesty in news reporting, but the liars got rid of that in America. I give you Fox News, the only news station that makes viewers dumber, the more they watch it. Seven different studies have proven that people who get no news -are better informed than Fox News viewers. What would this country be like, if lying to the public were outlawed as a felony, tantamount to treason? A much better and friendlier place, I'd wager.

Crude, blatant electioneering from a crude, blatant politician.

There's got to be a conspiracy theory here somewhere, no?

It is a crackpot idea to bring up on the campaign trail...
ridgerunner5Feb 9, 2012Buried
Not really. Campaigning is all about promising everyone everything.

Care to explain why?

Yes, but first I must explain irony...
