Newt Gingrich declared to the Florida Space Coast that the United States should be colonizing the Moon by 2020 and that once the colony reached 13,000 occupants that the moon should become the 51st state in the Union. "But wait!" you say, "I thought that the UN said nobody can own the moon and that Space belongs to all mankind." Well you aren't wrong, and you aren't right either. For full explanations of both topics look at these two links NEWT on SPACE and Moon Wars. What I want to talk about is what this means for us. Does it really matter? More after the break.
