16kadams Tourney: Newt Gingrich's Moonbase Idea Will Happen

(For the record, i fully expect to lose this debate)Now this whole moon base thing comes from a clip filmed shortly after the conclusion of the Republican Primary in Florida..........http://www.youtube.com...Audio: "By the end of my second term........ (pause for cheering and applause where there should be heckling and laughter)...... we, will have, the first, permanent, base, on the moon, and it, will be, American...... (pause for more laughter and cheering where there should also be heckling and laughter)"So there are three issues that this debate will focus around that would otherwise make this idea impossible,1) Newt being able to get a second term2) Newt's commitment to this idea3) The technology to do such a thing exists1) Possibility of Newt's second term even happeningNow obviously the first one poses the biggest issue to this idea coming to fruition because of how bad Newt is doing in the race for president...... However many people overlook one critical detail in this whole thing when they denounce this idea as impossible since Newt wont have a second term because he doesnt have a first term......And that critical detail is.... (Cue drum roll for then latest bat sh*t crazy argument from Imabench)...................................NEWT WASNT REFERRING TO HIS SECOND TERM AS THE PRESIDENT, HE IS REFERRING TO HIS SECOND TERM AS SECRETARY OF STATE IN THE ROMNEY ADMINISTRATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!Think about it (but i prefer you dont and blindly listen to me), no where in the audio does he refer to the end of his second PRESIDENTIAL term, he only refers to his second term..... And that could be as anything, it could be Vice President, Secretary of Energy, Secretary of Defense, etc. Right now im simply assuming he is referring to Secretary of State where in reality he could be referring to any position BUT the President..... Hell it might not even be under the Romney administration, it could be under the Santorum administration or even the Ron Paul administration too.....Point is, this whole argument is based on the loophole that Newt doesnt specifically refer to his second term as his second Presidential term, therefore by the end of his second term as anything, there could be a moon base......2) Newt's commitment to this ideaNow Newt isnt the first one to propose a moon base or going back to the moon.... Presidents have been proposing that since the days of Jimmy Carter, and all of them have sooner or later abandoned these ideas...... But Newt is different, he is more committed to this then anybody else, and theres one piece of evidence that proves that he is 100% committed to making a permanent moon base(cue drum roll again for another trolling by Imabench)....................................NEWT'S MARRIAGE HISTORY"Wait Imabench, how does Newt's marriage history serve as evidence that Newt is committed to making a moonbase?" - Voters"SHUT UP YOU DING-DONG'S AND LET ME TALK!!!!!!!!!!"- MeLets examine Newts passed divorces, who his wives were, what happened to them, and who they were dumped for....First Marriage: Married his Geometry teacher Jackie Battley, ended up getting Ovarian Cancer when she was 45Dumped for: Marianne Ginther who was 29Second Marriage: Married Marianne Ginther, ended up developing Muscular Dystrophy, divorced at age 48Dumped for: Callista Bisek who was 34http://en.wikipedia.org...Third Marriage: Married Callista Bisek, ended up with (insert disease here), divorced at age (list number greater than 45 here)Dumped for: (Insert name here) who was (take number inputted above and subtract by 20) So basically, Newt Gingrich likes to leave old sickly things for younger healthier ones.... Now lets look at EARTH AND THE MOONEarth = 4.55 Billion years old with many problems like tornadoes hurricanes, volcanoes, etcMoon = 4.4 Billion Years old with not many issueshttp://www.talkorigins.org...http://abcnews.go.com...So because Newt leaves old sickly wives for younger healthier ones, and since the moon is much younger and healthier then the Earth, then through simple logic one can see that Newt will try to leave the Earth for the moonNewt likes young things....When Newt's things he liked gets old and sickly ===== he leaves them for new onesHe leaves old sickly things for new ones ===== The Earth is currently who Newt is withThe Earth is old and sickly ===== The Moon is younger and healthierIf the Moon is younger and healthier then the Earth ===== Newt will divorce it to go to the moonThe Moon is younger and Healthier than the Earth ===== Newt will leave it for the MoonIf A, then BIf B, then CIf C, then not DIf Not D, then maybe FIf E, then GIf G and A, then DSince D is real, then so is HH is real, therefore F is actually real despite D existing at the same time C doesI think ive made my point.Not enough evidence for you? Newt has been dreaming of a space colony for decades, he even elaborated on a space colony in his book "Window of Opportunity: A Blueprint for the Future", published in 1984, so Newt has been dreaming of leaving Earth for the moon for 25 years now, which is longer than any of his marriages....http://www.mnn.com...3) The technology to make a moon base existsThe last step to overcome in this moon base thing is whether or not the technology exists or will exist by the time Newt's second term ends as whatever (which will be 8 years from now in the year 2020.) So does the technology to build a moon base currently exist today?The answer is yes, and the private sector is also playing a rolehttp://blogs.discovermagazine.com...http://www.spaceref.com...http://news.nationalgeographic.com...So Newt Gingrich's Moonbase will happen since the technology to build it does exist, since Newt is famous for blowing a ton of money to leave old sickly things for younger healthier things, and because Newt's second term is ambiguous to the office he would be holding at the timeI await your reply Con :D
