No re-enactment jokes, please. I know of one person who has expressed an interest in being superintendent. I guess he still hasn’t recovered from the Penguins’ playoff failures this spring.

Crossroads 
Dear congress. Space is cool and all, but we have enough issues currently to keep you busy here on Earth. How about instead of a national park on the moon, we put one up in Uranus.
A nice idea, but let’s make this an international park under UN jurisdiction.
I’m all for that as soon as the UN kicks in some reimbursement money for the cost of our getting there. 🙂
Just two more Democrats looking to spend money.
Well, at least it would be a national park where you wouldn’t be torn to shreds by local interests. 🙂
I wonder where they’re going to build the Visitor Center for this one? Will there be a parking fee?
Visitor Center at Cape Canaveral. Parking by the week is a nominal fee, but the bus fee to get to the park is outrageous.
Any bets on whether or not the Teabaggers will insert wording to prevent aliens from entry in that park?
Just illegal aliens.
Fantastic. I’ve already submitted a proposal for concession stands and a water slide park. LOL It’s such as this that give the late night comedians such great fodder when it comes to Congress. It’s just plain silly. On the other hand, it’s not going to cost much to “name” a National Park. It’s not like we’re going to put up a visitor center, manicure the grounds, build monuments or give guided tours. This from a guy who paid $50 thirty years ago to have a star in some obscure galaxy named for his wife. Now where the hell did I put the plans for that water slide?
I actually think there is some legitimate concern that appears to be driving this proposal, but am not nessecarily convinced national park status is the answer. With the increasing possibility of private or corporate space exploration and exploitation, such concerns will at some point need to be addressed.
Don’t feed the bears and be sure to import some wolves.
I hear DKG has been contacted about giving the inaugural address.
The Superintendancy interest might be appropriate, since that’s where Sid and Geno were playing during the Eastern Conf. finals and it’s the home turf of Flower. 🙂
We’ll have a Starbucks there first.
Does nobody remember that the US signed the Outer Space Treaty which forbids any kind of territorial claims on the moon? To do this would be a treaty violation.
Some of us have not … which is why the proposal seemed grounded in profound ignorance. But that never prevents some people from acting as they do.
