Building a colony on the moon? Newt has said he is going to lead us to do it. Is it a good idea? Many scoff and others are not so sure. I am thinking about it and wondering if Newt is crazy or a genius? Everyone did not think that Kennedy was crazy and we as a nation did put a man on the moon 40 years ago. But what has that meant to us since then?
Most of us think and even admit not much. But, the technology that made the moon missions possible were a huge influnce on the growth and explosion of technology back in the 1960's, and let me tell you I lived through those days and it did absolutely boom. Would that happen again? If we entered into a program spending more and more money to develop a program to put a colony on the moon, what would that do to technology, jobs, national pride, etc. It is a big idea. Is it too big of an idea? Here is a good blog article by E.D. Kain.
Here is my thought. The idea of putting a colony of men on the moon is absolutly one of the biggest projects that man and all of mankind could undertake. I am not convinced that it is a worthwhile project to do but the side effect of the effort if like the 1960s would be great. Focus on a goal like this will or would take a committed strong leader. Newt does seem to be that. I am sure some people have strong opionions on this but most of us are probably just like me thinking is this a good idea or not? I will be honest I am not real sure.
Job creattion is a good idea. But once again I am not sure that moon colonization is "shovel ready." Lately so few things are that Washington comes up with seem to have any merit. We will see if this one has any either. Newt may have a good idea but if the people don't agree then it is all just talk. Newt will have to convince people we need this colony on the moon. Again I am not so sure about this, but I am sure of a few things, here they are:
- The first thing I am sure we are ready for is leadership. Strong leadership.
- The second thing is I am sure of is we will hear a lot of politiacal hype in the next 10 months. I am already tiring of it all.
- The third thing is that voting your convictions is needed but not easy. No one is perfect and finding the right man to lead is not easy.
- The fouth and most important thing is that I have really already found my leader. It is the Lord Jesus Christ. I am sure of this too if there are men on the moon they will need Jesus. If that is the case will we need a mission team to go and tell them? That is going to take some planning.
