NASA being involved with space? Not so much. What the is going on.
| quote: | In a far-reaching restatement of goals for the nation’s space agency, NASA administrator Charles Bolden says President Obama has ordered him to pursue three new objectives: to “re-inspire children” to study science and math, to “expand our international relationships,” and to “reach out to the Muslim world.” Of those three goals, Bolden said in a recent interview with al-Jazeera, the mission to reach out to Muslims is “perhaps foremost,” because it will help Islamic nations “feel good” about their scientific accomplishments.
In the same interview, Bolden also said the United States, which first sent men to the moon in 1969, is no longer capable of reaching beyond low earth orbit without help from other nations.
Bolden made the statements during a recent trip to the Middle East. He told al-Jazeera that in the wake of the president’s speech in Cairo last year, the American space agency is now pursuing “a new beginning of the relationship between the United States and the Muslim world.” Then:
"When I became the NASA Administrator — before I became the NASA Administrator — Obama charged me with three things: One was he wanted me to help re-inspire children to want to get into science and math, he wanted me to expand our international relationships, and third, and perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering." |

| NASA soon will be obsolete if they keep sitting on their collective hands. I have a feeling the Moon will be privatized by corporations before any Governments go back and proclaim it their own. |

Eh.. I like the first two ideas and I'm all for co-operating with everybody, but which Muslim worlds have a space program?
I'm pretty sure there aren't any.
Austin, the answer is either Socialism, Tea-Party, or Government Conspiracy, depending on who you talk to. |
