Posted By Colin Wolf on November 9, 2012, 1:00 PM
Dear GYA, I'm pretty excited because I just learned that NASA is planning a trip back to the Moon. Now, I want to go on the record here and say I would love to run that damned moonbase. Hell, just thinking of all that moon money makes me all pink the face. Anything going on this weekend to celebrate this dream come true? Newt Gingrich ---
