Gingrich is right about the space program, Daily Caller
“I’ve made fun of Gingrich before. There’s a lot to make fun of. But zapping him on the space program is shortsighted pandering. Our presence in space is a strategic necessity. But it’s more than that too. Last spring, a Marist poll found that kids no longer want to be astronauts. That’s a generation no longer inspired to reach for the stars. It’s un-American. And it has to change.”
The return of Newt Skywalker, Politico
“Gingrich defended his lunar notions Saturday. “I grew up in a generation when the space program was real, when it was important.”
Newt Gingrich “has suggested” building “a mirror system in space” could improve the Earth’s habitability, PolitiFact.com
“Gingrich co-wrote his book more than a quarter century ago, and since he doesn’t appear to have reiterated the call for floating mirrors in recent years, we can safely assume the idea is no longer at the top of his policy agenda. But did cite the idea approvingly in his book, so we rate Brooks’ statement True.”
