Just wondering, if this get passed(and I truly hope it doesn't), will the mint add another commemorative coin to the program? http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/07/09/house-democrats-propose-creating-national-park-on-moon/ edit: the comment I just added could fuel a political debate, so I deleted it. Is it OK to say I do not vote Democrat?
Lots of opportunity here for ill advised comments. I'll just say I think the moon is no individual countries territory. Stay on earth Dems.
I don't think we can claim the moon... We WERE there first though... But, more reasonably, I don't think there would be any reason to make a national park on the moon(at least currently) than to put it on a coin.(but what state would it be from?) The part about visitor services and administrative offices concerns me though. I bet there would be a massive premium on pressed pennies from a national park on the moon...
You provided Fox News as a source, so that answers that question. As for whether the US sets up a national park on the moon ... well, theoretically no country has any territorial claims there. Practically all animals are equal but some are more equal than others. And no, I don't think that will have any effect on the ATB Quarters program. Christian
They'll have to add another quarter to the State quarters run too as apparently part of Colorado is looking to split off and form their own state. http://www.ibtimes.com/northern-col...h-colorado-become-americas-51st-state-1343797
From that article: "Texas was the last U.S. state to request succession in 2012" ... Well, that spelling succs. Christian
The biggest question I have is who would patrol this park? Yogi and Boo-boo in spacesuits... interesting thought.
Someone needs to explain to those two Representatives that we don't own the Moon, we have no territory there, and no right to try and "carve out" a national park there.
