COCOA BEACH, Fla., Jan. 26 (UPI) -- Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich say he wants Americans on the moon and would give statehood to a space colony if it had a big enough population.
"By the end of my second term," Gingrich said at a campaign stop in Coco Beach, Fla., "we will have the first permanent base on the moon and it will be American."
