When Newt Gingrich suggested that an American moon base could be established by 2021, I expected that the lefties in the press would point and laugh. And they have done so, right on cue. What I’ve found disturbing, though, is that the mere *mention* on an American moon base causes the audience to erupt in laughter. Fifty years ago, when our technological and scientific base was much poorer than it is today, an equivalent suggestion was met with applause and hundreds of thousands of people rolling up their sleeves. Today, that suggestion is met with derision and apathy.
The future belongs to the bold. Apparently, a substantial fraction of the American public has rejected even the basic notion of being bold.
We’re doomed.
