The four people to send to Gingrich’s projected Moon colony:
a) Gingrich
b) his wife
c) his campaign manager
d) his media rep.
Why should we care what this political psychopath and serial liar thinks?:
celebrity culture, which includes a vicarious interest in an admittedly v. smart and photogenic (Gingrich looks IMO like a leprechaun) person who played a dynamic (to use a platitude) role long ago.
But no more.

We shouldn’t feel pity for Gingrich, it’s a win-win situation for him:
in the extremely unlikely (his chances dimmer every day) event he were to be elected POTUS, he of course wins;
by losing as a candidate, he has nonetheless spent campaign contributions traveling around, meeting new contacts (potential marks), he is more well known, he can negotiate better book deals, command higher honorariums.
Plus, Gingrich will obtain more donations for his think tank, to study how he could have colonized the Moon if only he had been elected president.
Life is good.
