Newt Gingrich Wants Permanent Moon Base

In the race for the Republican Presidential nomination, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich announces that, if elected, he will establish a colony on the moon.

In a speech to supporters on the Florida space coast, Gingrich called for a "grandiose" effort to colonize space.

"It's the second great launch of the adventure John F. Kennedy started", said Gingrich.

Gingrich wants the moon to become the 51st U.S. state, and he also wants manned missions to Mars.

With Newt Gingrich as U.S. President it is clear that the odds for the survival of the human race would improve quite dramatically.
