The Moon, Politics, and Competition
Amy Teitel writes an overview of the realities of Newt Gingrich’s plans for the Moon. Despite the difficulties of Gingrich’s plans coming to reality, she draws attention to the underlying feeling of competition:
That statement evoked cheers from the crowd and sent shivers down my spine. The way forward is cooperation in space, not competition; the research station at the South Pole should be our model.
Lunar research, and space research in general, should not be carried out in international competition. Science should be the ultimate goal, not beating the other guys.
