Newt and the Moon
Watching the news this morning I was informed that Newt Gingrich will put a base on the moon during his SECOND term. I think this is the only thing he has ever said that I approved (except for the second term part).
How long before it becomes a theme park! lol

Luna's as good a place for Gingrich as any. I even know the person to send him there: Ralph Kramden!

The idea of a base on the moon isn't a bad one. It could serve as a launching pad for missions farther into space as there is no atmosphere and launching from the moon also starts you off at a much greater forward velocity. This would make for much less costly missions per launch.
However, that being said, we are a long way from being able to utilize this short-cut. The base that would be required to support these launches would not be some small outpost, but a massive complex that would itself require tremendous support from Earth as Wanderer already explained. Too many launches to make the moon based launches cost effective.
Maybe someday, but certainly not 2020. But yes, lets send Newt there to scout out a good location.

Advancement into outer space is essential for the future of the human race (IMO). A moon base is a great start to begin our exploration of our solar system and beyond. But to think we would have NEWT GINGRICH to thank for that for that is disturbing. Maybe Stephen Hawking but not Newt...
However, If he is the first one sent there in a one way rocket :) I sure would not mind that.

Least Suprising comment in article: "Rick Santorum quickly poo-pooed the idea of expanding resources for space flight." I am not shocked, he is very narrow-minded apparently.... Santorum also wants to cut funding to programs. I bet every one he would choose would be a study for science.
Why is anyone still listening to the nonsense that guy says. I'm just saying....

Newt's project could very easily be funded. All we have to do is convince a great number of believers that it has been "revealed" that great quantities of petroleum are on the moon. One party in congress would then most certainly want to support the project since, like the war in Iraq, it "would pay for itself."

Death of a family member

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.
I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…

What do you think of this,
Nathan Young,
No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it. The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs. I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance. The letter was a mockery of atheism. Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…

What do you think of this Facebook comment?
Nathan Young to Jason Torpy,
for once you and I can agree on something. We should disrespect beliefs that are untenable such as the belief that there is no God. Indeed for me to respect you Jason, I cannot respect your belief in non-belief in atheism. Your atheism comes across as arrogrance, smugness, and self righteous. Indeed after reading "An Open Letter to My Religious Friends" I penned one…
