Lunar Base Foe Romney Endorsed By Lunar Base Supporters

Posted by timothy on from the let's-just-howl-at-each-other-instead dept.

MarkWhittington writes "Mitt Romney has infamously suggested that the idea of lunar colonies is 'zany' and has ridiculed Newt Gingrich's idea of building a lunar base by 2020. However Romney has been endorsed by a group of aerospace heavyweights, including Apollo moonwalker Gene Cernan and former NASA administrator Mike Griffin, many of whom have previously supported the idea of lunar bases."

    a one or ten rock lobbed from moon would be a nuisance, nothing more. would not have yield of nuclear weapon. Iran doesn't even have long range missile, much less anything like Saturn V launch system to get to moon. Stop worrying about Iran, quit swallowing the psychopath murderers propaganda, several hundred thousand Iraqi civilians worth of body count is enough genocide for the USA's 21st century.
