Impractical? Maybe. Sound Awesome? Yes.

What did Newt Gingrich promise today? A permanent moon colony by the end of his second term in office, if elected. Impractical? Unrealistic? Both may be true. But, it does sound pretty awesome. Here's the quote:

"When they have 13,000 Americans living on the moon, they can petition to become a state...By the end of my second term, we will have the first permanent base on the moon and it will be American.”

Again - over the top and may be pandering to Floridians, but it's a fairly fascinating concept.
