you are right the title is a quote from newt Gingrich's Presidential campagin...it was a joke

i think that thats the beauty of videogames, you never have to think small, the tech can be grounded in science but with a hopeful look to the future. 50 years ago the curiosity rover would have been viewed by many as a pie in the sky dream, but look at us now. i firmly believe that one day through advances in science none of us can imagine the will be a human being that lives his entire life on a planet other than earth and i think it would be fun to explore those possibilities in this game. we already know how to thicken an atmosphere (given a certain pre-existing atmosphere) through greenhouse emissions. the haber-Bosch process allows us to affectively extract nitrogen from various materials which could be used in conjuntion with bioengineered plants (taking advantage of recent advances in genetics) to produce a favorable environment for human (or kerbin) life

i'm glad someone out there gets it...i think my first post was overrun by a troll army.

guys i gotta say, the title is just a quote from Gingrich's defunct presidential campaign (doesn't have anything to do with real political leanings). and i am aware of the pseudo-buildings that you creative, dedicated people have been able to engineer but what i am suggesting to is the idea of building a fully functional kerbin society of the stars. so instead of focusing on the complexities of geo-political economics why dont we all sit down and play some video games

Have you every gazed into the night sky, caught a glimpse of that beloved silvery orb and thought to yourself, "I'd really like a summer house there." Think of it, sunbathing along the shore of the sea of tranquility sounds pretty good right about now, am i right? Launching from Mun would remove more than a few of those pesky gravity issues and nothing says swagger like bringing a girl home to your own personal crater-mansion. Also it opens the door to so many more possibilites: colonization of other planets, trade based (not military) interaction with other species or groups of kerbals, even terra-forming. So i leave it to you, my fellow kerbo-thusiests, to bring our kerbals what they deserve...a house on the freak'in moon...
