-Chuck Copernicus, VV staff Sports/Science Writer

With a rare partnering of the public and private sectors, (The White House, NASA, HUD, KB Homes, PTL Club Inc., Disney Corp., MacDonalds Corp., Bechtel, Halliburton and Dubai Ports World Inc.), the US is taking the lead in proposals for the 2012 Winter Olympics, slated to be held on the moon.

Bidding for the broadcast rights for what's predicted to be the largest viewing audience in sports history, has begun, with Al Jazeera surprisingly leading the pack, followed closely by Comedy Central, The Cartoon Network and ESPN, respectively. Citing diminishing ad revenues due to the increasing competition from cable networks, ABC sports has dropped out of the bidding.

It's expected that many visitors to the games will "like it up there," and decide to stay on. "This is the dawning of a new age in space," said Dr. Albert Feinstein of NASA. "Where we go from here depends on home-sales and the success of small business, with this, our first small step in colonization," he added.
