Congressman Mo Brooks (R-AL), a member of the House Science Committee whose district includes NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, easily won his primary election Tuesday night. Brooks defeated former Congressman Parker Griffith by over 40 percentage points, 71 to 29 percent, according to nearly-complete returns. The primary was a rematch of the 2010 Republican primary, […] On Tuesday, Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich visited the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville for a speech, which included a brief discussion about space policy. Two days later another GOP candidate, Rick Santorum, visited the very same venue. This time, though, beyond a nod to the historical backdrop to his talk, there was […] Feeling confident about a likely victory in Georgia’s Republican presidential primary (which indeed happened), former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich paid a visit Tuesday to Alabama, which holds its primary in a week. And not just anywhere in Alabama: he went to Huntsville, speaking before a few hundred people at the U.S. Space and […] After presidential candidate Newt Gingrich’s speech that featured the goal of a permanent base on the Moon by 2020, he was criticized by some of his fellow Republican candidates, among others, for proposing what they believe to be an expensive venture. Mitt Romney’s campaign issued a statement criticizing the plan, which it argued could cost […] Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was speaking at a town hall in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on Friday when he was asked—unexpectedly, perhaps, given the locale—about NASA planetary exploration efforts.

The article tries to make the case that […] The chairman of the space subcommittee of the House Science Committee, freshman Rep. Steven Palazzo (R-MS), cites space as an issue as he prepares for reelection. “Being here has put me in a position to a make sure that our path back to space goes through South Mississippi, which it has always done,” he tells […] Earlier this week, Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich spoke out against the criticism he received from fellow candidates about his lunar base proposal, chastising Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum for calling his proposal “really stupid” and expensive. “I mean, why did my two Republican competitors instinctively decide we couldn’t go into space? Because they’re cheap,” […] While Colorado, Minnesota, and Missouri held Republican primaries or caucuses on Tuesday, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich was not in any of those three states. Instead, he was on the campaign trail in Ohio, looking ahead to that state’s primary on Super Tuesday next month. In an appearance in Dayton yesterday, he mentioned […] While Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich has been the subject of criticism and even satire for his comments about establishing a permanent lunar base (as the first step to what eventually could be statehood for a lunar settlement), the former Speaker of the House doesn’t appear to be backing down from those statements.
