Rick Santorum took a swipe at Newt Gingrich’s moon base proposal, accusing the former House Speaker of “playing crass politics and not being realistic with the people of this country.”

“NASA and the space coast and Houston and Alabama and all of those places have done remarkable work and are huge assets to the country, but there are other assets to the country,” Santorum said in Tallahassee, FL this morning, adding that the United States is in no position to take on such a costly space project.
