I can honestly see people pitching a fit over the Newly established borders because it gives one nation the ability to by pass national security and countermeasures would be taken. I don't know, All i know is why do the Americans (at least their government) feel they are entitled to everything? Seriously Flock off.
I don't know but it is true that America is intent on controlling the last uninhabitaded place on earth.
After all they are the only nation with bases in antartica,right?

Why don't you go flock off. If we build a moon base ... better yet a colony at some point it will be ours.

If Canada had a moon base and us Yanks decided we wanted to run it you'd probably be the first take a big lunar sh*t!

Quit being so arrogant.

Openly brandishing the "grandiose" Plans that America will have a Manned Permanent colony on the Moon By 2020, and "It Will Be American" Just further stressed the point that American's Head is too far in the clouds.

And yes, if Americans build a Moon Base it WILL be American. Do you think we'd build it for you?

I don't know but it is true that America is intent on controlling the last uninhabitaded place on earth.

Yes... we are the only nation with bases in the Antartic... if you don't count the other 29 nations who also have bases there.

Geez.

I am not saying that the colony or base would not be yours, but the problem is that arrogance seems to be something of a trait as people automatically assume the worst out of everyone, As given by this post. The question i was posing was, IF america did build a station on the moon, 'And it will be american' ; I was looking for he justification or rather a reiteration of the sentence given and quoted in the article, Is the man staking claim on the moon as being strictly American?

Why don't you try asking questions some time instead of Flushing out the arrogant Canadian card at every turn?


And yes, if Americans build a Moon Base it WILL be American. Do you think we'd build it for you?

Why now isn't that an arrogant thing to say? It's not a matter of the base being american- Hell It could be built by the polish for all i care; What i care about is the implications that America would be in control of the moon. Especially when one takes the idea that he believes the moon can become a State. Isn't that interesting?

That is what i was referring to. So why don't you take a moment to step away from the Pride and prejudice for a moment, and reflect on the actions of your government over the last few decades and ask your self which is the more arrogant?

Just saying.

Newt and the rest of the wing nuts will not be happy until the US is in Chapter 11. They of course have their billions stashed elsewhere.

He is trying the new frontier Kennedy theme. It opportunistic for sure, just like America
was during WWI and WWII. See America sold military stuff to anyone until they came
into the war in 1917 while the rest of the world was in it around 1914, In WWII it was the
same thing. America did not enter the war until a couple of years after everyone else was
fighting.
The manned colony how will they manage it? There are hundreds of housing areas in
America that are in a huge mess with repos and people squatting in housing divisions because
people are being evicted from their homes. Maybe they can send the wall street crowd to the
moon and they can't do anymore damage.

There won't be any Moon colony for forty or fifty years. I'm sure the U.S. don't have a hundred bilion or so lying around
waiting to finance that very ambitious space project. The U.S. has cut defense projects and the Moon colony must
have at least jumped to a back burner where they will stay for the next few decades.

Gingrich wants to increase the Federal deficit in a crusade that creates few jobs and has no real cost benefit. Of course, thereafter he will blame Democrats for the increased deficit.

It's nice to see that politicians from Canada and the United States are getting good solid ideas from CanadianContent posters.

Seems that the armchair critics really have the better idea.

I've got space in my garage I am willing to sell Newt, Seriously though, it would be nice to see the Americans be the first to land a man on the moon.

If they weren't, they'd have to be first, to plant the artifacts that are
suppose to have been there since 1969....;-)

That would be a problem......Naa...They've been there. The TV broadcasts were too good for them to have faked it.

Nope. There are international stations there as well as some 20+ other countries that have stations there. There are only about 10 US stations.

Hilarious! If this ends up like the rest of the 'space race' the Russians will have shop set up by 2014
More like the Chinese. I think the Russians are still sorting themselves out.

Of course.
