Anyone wants to make Russia the 52nd state? And China the 53rd? Why not Mars to be the 54rt?

Yes... Lets spend billions on a space program before the Chinese colonize the moon...

American lands on the moon. The world says, "those americans dare to dream, they are a beacon to us all"
America plans to colonize the moon. The world will say "Imperialist dogs".

How times have changed where we've gone from the saviors of humanity, to the slavemasters.

I support this plan. It isn't like we have enough debt yet...

More importantly, would prostitution be legal there?

If you had yourself a colony on the moon why would you want to become a US state? 0% tax rates!!!!

Still more importantly, would Newt Gingrich move there? Even more importantly than that, would he become a space prostitute if he did? (Dem tittayz.)

Actually, he wants to make Puerto Rico the 51st state. So I guess the moon would be #52.

omg I want to experience space sex. I support this idea, prices will go down after all the rich bastards have their fun.

Well, I guess it's always nice to have a backup plan for when Earth gets overpopulated :P
