Newt is a well documented fan of science. A nerd if you will. Also, there seems to be a bit of legacy shaping happening in this piece. But yeah, this is a guy that wants to build moon bases, his desire to increase funding for NASA and the NIH are well documented. No surprise here. In many ways, he's a pretty kick ass guy, it's just unfortunate he chose the wrong party.NO one who lived through the 1990s would have suspected that one day people would look back on the period as a golden age of bipartisan cooperation.
