Elon Musk lauds Newt Gingrich's $2B moon competition prize
« on: August 21, 2019, 09:42:02 pm »

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk gave his approval for a plan put forth by former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich to give a $2 billion prize to the first private company to establish and run the first base on the moon.

"This is a great idea," Musk tweeted in response to a story written up about the plan, which was first reported by Politico.

The plan, which was hatched by Gingrich, Air Force Lt. Gen. Steven Kwast, Howard Bloom (the former music publicist to icons such as Michael Jackson, Prince and Billy Joel) and others, would be awarded in an effort to help cut down public spending on space exploration, primarily the domain of NASA. A source familiar with NASA's thinking told Fox News the space agency had not been made aware of the plan.
