Nah, just launch them towards the nearest blackhole. Even better, build a giant trebuchet and see if they can be flung in to orbit!

They would probably like Jupiter. Largest planet.

They would probably like Jupiter. Largest planet. Colonies on Io and a Jupiter terraforming project with chlorophyll.

Wait. So how does this train of thought work?
"Done sabotaging 'Murica so that uppity Dem can't make us all into commies; NOW SPACE!"
No matter how much I simplify it or view it from another angle, it still doesn't make sense. Free market, ergo space?

I suppose vaccum works in a semi-socialist fashion, equalising pressure and all. They wouldn't like that at all.

Tea Party in Space, an offshoot of the South Florida Tea Party, is, of all things, pushing to end the government’s supposed monopoly on space exploration.
“Our goal is nothing less than the expansion of American civilization into the solar system,” says the group’s platform. “We must return to traditional American free-market principles to expand permanently into space.” www.splcenter.org/blog/2011/08/10/the-final-tea-party-frontier/comment-page-1/#comment-315238I wonder if these guys even understand there was never anything stopping private interests from pumping the billions needed into a private space program. Some have even tried it. It's just the gov could do it more easily and cheaper for those wanting to put satellites up. Every time I hear a tea bagger story I am amazed at how they lower the bar for their stupidity even more.

Come now. These are people who probably don't understand that this "great country" they tout, which lives only in fantasy, wouldn't have vene been settled if not for Government incentive. Think about that, all you teabaggers in flyover states. You think anyone wanted to settle in Kansas? No! And no corporation was going to provide incentive, either.
