14 Things People Probably Said About Newt Gingrich’s Plan to Colonize the Moon

Newt Gingrich says he wants to put a base on the moon by 2020, adding he hopes enough people will move there so they can petition to make it a state. If it is part of the US of A, does that mean we’d have to travel 65 miles per hour to get there if we went on a road trip? Because that would take roughly 2,000 years and, quite frankly, who has that kind of time?

That aside, Newt is once again making headlines in his bid for the White House.
