What in the hell has happened to this country when all of the leading (establishment) Presidential candidates are either crazy, stupid, evil, or corrupt???
I didn't hear him say that. He said "Amcerican Colony",not America state? Or you do you think maybe it;s one of the 58 states that Barry was talking about?

Sorry, that was another video. Once we have 13,000 people on the moon they could apply for statehood. That's his criteria. I'll dig it up and post it. Check back later.

I think there are international regulations in place to keep any one country from claiming anything in outspace as their own. That could put a damper on the whole "states in space" thing.

There were international regulations in place to prevent George Bush from waging a war against a country that didn't attack us (Iraq). Might makes right. Gingrich is a loon.
Which is a recorded part of your typical kneejerk response that has nothing to do whatsoever with Gingrich and the claim he wanted to make the moon the 51st state.

It's right here. He said this just a couple of days ago. He's crazy;
According to this idiot's logic, if we shipped enough Americans to Antarctica, we could make that continent a new state if there are enough of them to petition to become a state. Never mind we are signatories to a treaty that preserves that continent as a preserve there for humanity's common good. As someone who is formerly a member of the military, I know the moon with it's shallow gravity well is high ground. Anyone there can cheaply launch anything to Earth what they want because of the low escape velocity of Luna. So, when there are lunar colonies budgeted for and timetables set to accomplish the establishment of them, it will be something several countries will do as soon as one country sets in stone their plan to establish a base there. Not everyone is going to sit back and watch the U.S. violate treaties on Luna and be the one power that can say to everyone else to do what they say, or a sustained bombardment of nuclear weapons will fall on them where it is expensive and difficult to retaliate against those doing this. Newt is out of his mind on many things, but way overboard in la la land in this bander to Florida voters.
We already own the moon. Treaties with the UN are null and void. A treaty is between nations.
No,it isn't. He DID say US citizens living on the Moom Base could legally petition to have THE MOON BASE declared a state (One of Obama's 58 states?),but NOT THE MOON ITSELF.

The pickings for sane leaders of this nation is getting slimmer by the minute....
The treaty on Luna under the auspices of the United Nations is between nations. And no, we do not own our moon. In any event, when one nation launches an earnest attempt to go to Luna to establish a base, you can count on other nations responding by doing the same thing. Competition between nations is a natural thing, and we will not stop them from going, as we absolutely, positively do not own Luna.
The treaty makes a declaration that the Moon should be used for the benefit of all states and all peoples of the international community. It also expresses a desire to prevent the Moon from becoming a source of international conflict. To those ends the treaty:[citation needed] Bans any military use of celestial bodies, including weapon testing or as military bases. Bans all exploration and uses of celestial bodies without the approval or benefit of other states under the common heritage of mankind principle (article 11). Requires that the Secretary-General must be notified of all celestial activities (and discoveries developed thanks to those activities). Declares all states have an equal right to conduct research on celestial bodies. Declares that for any samples obtained during research activities, the state that obtained them must consider making part of it available to all countries/scientific communities for research. Bans altering the environment of celestial bodies and requires that states must take measures to prevent accidental contamination. Bans any state from claiming sovereignty over any territory of celestial bodies. Bans any ownership of any extraterrestrial property by any organization or person, unless that organization is international and governmental. Requires all resource extraction and allocation be made by an international regime. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_Treaty Here is an overview of that treaty.
Probably something like that was in the unconstitutional GATT treaty Gingrich helped foist on the American people.
Perhaps, we can have some pan-fried chicken steaks moonbeam style with steamed rice and chitlins AND chiles in a pot! But after all the technological and resources are expended, who is going to bring back all that stuff to feed the world?
You like using the new word you learned. You seem to like throwing it around to show how "smart" you are.
Mike is probably thinking of a Luna-rock brought back from the Moon a few decades ago when the US was rich & famous. I don't. All I see is a Luna-Stone, AKA Stone.
The satellite of this planet is not called the moon. It is referred to as 'the moon,' because it is OUR moon. It's proper English name is 'Luna.' And as we move toward habitation of it, we will be using the proper appellation for it, whether your little old beady eyed self likes that or not.
A moon is a satellite in orbit around a planet. Many planets have several moons, we have one. They all have names, usually laymen just call this one 'the moon' because it's our moon. If you are on Mars, it is not 'the moon,' it's the Earth's moon, 'Luna.' It can't be 'the moon' from the that vantage point, as it is orbitting a different planet then you are standing on. If you are standing on another planet and call a celestial body not orbiting the planet you are in the gravity well of, you are on drugs if you cal it 'the moon.'
Newtie is making yellow cakes in lunar land. Time to get a grip, vote Ron Paul!
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Heh, yellow cake from green cheese. Only Nwewt would do that. And I agree with you on Ron Paul, he is the best candidate for the presidency. I disagree with him on many issues, but the man knows monetary policy and the U.S. Constitution like no one who has been in th3 White house in a long long time.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110117215006AAiL1cD I learned the name decades ago, sunshine. I have long been an amateur astronomer. I have a very expensive reflector telescope, and you bet your low apparent magnitude I know how to use it.
That sounds queer.
Why are you obsessed with homosexuality, sunshine? It is something the first guy who talked to Jake Sully said when he woke up after years in cryogenic sleep on the way to Pandera from Earth to take his murdered brother's place in the movie Avatar. I said it in jest as that movie line I quoted was from a movie about intersteller travel. I am in no fucking way interested in being in a homosexual relationship, dumb shit, and if I were, you would hardly be even close to being relationship ready. Relax.... sunshine.
When I was a kid we used to study about the final days of the Roman Empire with Nero fiddling away and prior to him Caligula declaring himself divine. Obama, Gingrich, Santorum, Bush... Now I finally understand what it is like to live in a falling empire. It's so sad.

The treaty would apply to the Moon and to other celestial bodies within the Solar system, other than the Earth, including orbits around or other trajectories to or around them.[citation needed]

We simply call it the 'moon', its Latin name however is Luna. Just as we refer to our local star as the 'Sun', which has a Latin name of Sol.
