Moonbase

  • Posted by: Morgan Clendaniel
  • on December 5, 2006 at 7:22 am

We’re building a moon base. That means its only a matter of time before moon resorts. Think of the tans you could get so close to the sun. And, in a related note to explain how Congress works, check out former Texas Senator Phil Gramm thoughts from the last time they tried to build a moonbase:

“If the Senate voted this afternoon on building a cheese factory on the Moon, I would no doubt vote against it. But if the Senate decided, in its collective lack of wisdom, to build a cheese factory on the Moon, I would want engineers from Texas to design that cheese factory. I would want a construction company from Texas, since we have the best construction companies in the world, to build that cheese factory….”
