Quotations from Speaker Newt Gingrich: on Technology


Newt Gingrich: Space mirrors could uncover criminals lurking in darkness

A mirror system in space could provide the light equivalent of many full moons so that there would be no need for nighttime lighting of the highways. Ambient light covering entire areas could reduce the current danger of criminals lurking in darkness.
--Newt's book "Window of Opportunity"

Newt Gingrich: Space exploration solves the world's most pressing problems

1984- Gingrich publishes "Window of Opportunity: A Blueprint for the Future," written with Marianne Gingrich and science fiction writer David Drake. The book, which lays out Gingrich's philosophy, argues, among other things, that space exploration can solve the world's most pressing problems. At the time of publication, Gingrich is chairman of the Congressional Space Caucus.

1989- Gingrich is the subject of a House Ethics Committee probe. The 10- count complaint charged that Gingrich violated House rules on outside gifts and income by benefiting from two partnerships that helped finance two books--an unfinished novel and "Window of Opportunity."
