that doesnt mean much of anything. he says nothing of paying for

Bob, with all due respect... Pull your head out of your ass. Blindly
ignoring facts that don't suit you is what you're famous for around
here, but you have gone completely nutjob this time. Pretty much every
news story about Gingrich's space plan over the last 48 hours has
explained how he'd pay for it.

"Gingrich wants to pioneer space without a huge standing government
bureaucracy and with investments by private industry. To help lure
companies and research organizations to space, Gingrich proposes to
spend 10 percent of NASA's budget, which is currently $17.8 billion,
for prizes for an array of competitions."

Try actually reading about a subject before you start spouting off
about it.
