In the video below, Charles Bolden, head of NASA, tells Al Jazeera that the "foremost" task President Obama has given him is "to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with predominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering." Thus, NASA's primary mission is no longer to enhance American science and engineering or to explore space, but to boost the self-esteem of "predominantly Muslim nations."
I don't have words.
I don't have the FUCKING words.

The STUPID burns hot inside him...
I have words. They all rhyme with "duck" or "ducking" or "motherducker" though...
Still angry. Been furiously re-reading 1950s Heinlein for a couple of weeks anyway, now the pages mock me.
If you wife wears a burka, you can travel might be more accurate. Then you can decide what to do with the money, she stays home with the kids and if she whines that she doesn't have enough money to feed them you can beat her and tell her that she just should learn how to be more frugal with what you are willing to leave her.
So let's shut down Cape Canaveral now. End the wars overseas, and surrender. It will be shitty in some ways, but the consolation of seeing Nancy Pelosi, Hillary, and Kay Hagen told to be silent and put a burka might soften the blow.
Having a imam in charge of what used to be the United States will raise their self esteem more than NASA could, anyway.
Um, so, the scheme sounds a bit batty, but what of it? Not as if the Muslim world hasn't contributed a lot to human knowlegde, scientific, literary and cultural. Seems more like a reaching-out strategy than any real re-alignment of NASA's priorities anyway.
What business is it of NASA's to do outreach? Obama kills manned space exploration in favor of after school specials for Johhny Truckbomb? This is not appalling to you?
