To the Moon! That's the giant ball of cheese, right?

“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it, and then misapplying the wrong remedies.”

Yesterday, Newt Gingrich announced his plans about widening America's reach into space. He said that by the end of his second term (he's already campaigning for a second term assuming he wins the primary and the election!), the US will have a permanent moon base, along with space tourism, and space labs. He even said that once the moon population is 13,000, they can petition to be a state, even though Washington D.C. (pop. 500,000), can't.
