This is a songwriter challenge from Eden Hain, subject: THE MOON! I know a lot of songwriters on youtube like to play songs about popular books like Harry Potter, and the Hunger Games, but what about all of the classic 1960's Sci-Fi sitting on the shelves of used book stores?

Newt in Space: Gingrich Proposes Moon Colony for 2021 27 Jan 2012 at 5:46pm  Newt in Space: Gingrich Proposes Moon Colony for 2021 BY ALLIE SPILLYARDS Remember the Jetsons? Well according to GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich -- life in space may not be as far off and futuristic as TV once made it seem. "The program I envision would probably end up being 90 percent private sector. ((FLASH)) But I'll tell you. I don't want to be the country that having gotten to the moon first, turned around and said, 'it doesn't really matter. Let the Chinese dominate space. What do we care?'" (VIDEO SOURCE: CNN) Now just a day after the last Florida GOP debate where he made those statements, news headlines ranging from "Space Cadet Gingrich" to "Fly Me to the Moon" show most in the media are writing off Gingrich's idea as little more than ridiculous. CNN's David Frum takes a look. (SOURCE: WASHINGTON POST AND LA TIMES) "Then he should've dismissed the moon colony question with a joke and moved on. Instead, he allowed that conversation to take over. He could not control himself in the face of something he should've controlled himself in." TIME's Jeffrey Kluger suggests -- this is just one in a series of over-the-top statements from the former Speaker of the House. "...Gingrich often doesn't seem to get that merely being willing to say any damn thing is not the same as being able to do any damn thing, especially when the challenges you're taking on don't involve just political rivals and government policy, but the hard laws of engineering and physics..."
