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.

Geeeeeeeeezo, I wonder why the Russkies and the Chinese Commies didn't think of this??????
And this guy is wondering why he's drawing flack…stuff is starting to stick to him like the proverbial tar baby.
Let's make them feel real good about beheadings……..stonings………wanting us all dead! AND their plans to attack this country………
Pray for America!
She needs all the help she can get!
Ah yes I seem to recall Ali Boob bo, was the first person in outer space, but he was still in his tent just high on Hash and Poppy Juice.
If you read in the NASA records you will find this great story and more such as how Barry Soetoro also walked in space way back in 1999 on an unmaned space probe.
Thats also where he hid his records and will be sending all his money made from the CCX deal / cap and trade where he is poised to make Billions.
To bad no one will have jobs by then, lets see in 18 months over 5 million jobs lost,
The Debt is going to double in just 5 years and in ten will double again, due to the crazy spending that the out of control Democratic congress.
And with all that, the Democratic congress was able to slip in a Faux massive budget spending plan on the back of a bill form war cost.
Yea all is well. And hey the tooth fairy will bring you money too!
Does this mean that Iran isn't smart enough, or perhaps just isn't going fast enough in developing intercontinental missiles fast enough for him, that we need to help them out?
He can forget the illegals and the Muslims, let them go back to their own countrys and dominate there.
we don't want them or their flack.
obama puttin muslims on new stamp so dont buy any em!!!!!!
Zanzibar, if you're talking about the EID stamp, it's been around since, gee, 2001. It was issued 8 days before the world trade center attack, Sept 3, 2001.
We are trying so hard to embrace a religion that want's to destroy us infidels! Are we a bunch of gullible fools?
wodelly,
i think so!
obama jus muslim, socialist & commonist who wants 2 put muslims on the new stamp!!!! dont buy any em!!!!!!
not to worry- there will be no Muslim stamps bought in this house hold.
colo 43,
thank u !
u a tru american!
Refer back to his book where he stated if there should be a conflict with muslims he would stand with the muslims and this is exactly what that bastardd is doing. I am reading The Manchurian President and he is in with( Farrahkan) up to his eye balls and many other communists, socialis and marxist!!!!! My advise is to read this book and encourage otheres to do so!!!!! It i frighting!!!!!!!!
jus what the hell we need muslims invoved in nasa an space program 4 ?
The last thing we want to do is to encourage an enemy that has sworn time and time and time again that they are going to destroy us and that they are going to subject the whole planet to their Sharia law and totalitarian government. Why do we keep encouraging them? Why do we even allow them inside of our borders? We sure did not encourage the Nazis in WW2 , why the heck are we now encouraging the enemy that is within which is far more dangerous to our very existence? We have had 9/11 now we must wonder what is next on their evil schedule?? We need to vote out the whole Democrat crew in Washington in November, otherwise plain and simple, we are done for!
What a bunch of crap – they don't know anything about outer space and we are going to help. How about we just Obama right out of office so he can go live with his muslim people, take his wife and kids with him – he hates America so much and the American people then let's make sure he leaves and can never come back.
agree as do most Americans. He will rewrite History to show the U.S. as the bad guy. He will show the Muslim world as the people who invented everything. Not much to worry about using in their world. Just people full of hate running around killing everyone they can.They don't even care who they kill and they say them selves the more at one time they kill is better. And we have these people in our White House. Two muslims in charge of our National Security….That should scare the hell out of all Americans
Obama has all goverment agencys trying to butter up those in the mid east. Maybe if you put a few creeps on a rocket and send them to mars we would be better off. Maybe they could find alla while there.
NASA GOT GROUNDED! THEY LOST THEIR WHEELS, now they have to pick up trash along the highway.
