It'd be ironic since funding to the space programs has been going down in recent years despite that such research could very well save humanity from itself.

Not only has it been defunded, but individuals like Newt Gingrich are actually hoping to privatize NASA.

What's so ridiculous about setting up a moon colony?

ThinkProgress has previously reported on Gingrich’s curious space fetish, which has included an idea for a “mirror system in space could provide the light equivalent of many full moons” for nighttime driving.

The space program has waned in popularity since the end of the Cold War. The bourgeois establishment no longer views it as necessary to secure "national" interests. I wonder how long before extraterrestrial "territory" is made available for private acquisition.

I do not find the idea itself ridiculous. I certainly view space exploration as desirable from both a material and scientific perspective, but Gingrich's proposal is likely little more than campaign rhetoric. However, the notion of expanding capitalism into space is rather disturbing.

Good, then humanity can re-locate Gingrich and his fellow Zionist capitalist imperialist supporters to the moon.
