[link to www.washingtonexaminer.com] Obama’s new mission for NASA: Reach out to Muslim world By: Byron York Chief Political Correspondent 07/05/10 2:50 AM EDT 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.

NASA’s goals have been shifted. Now, they don’t need to worry so much about going into space. Apparently we are to only do things so long as we do them with other countries. If all the children can’t play, then nobody is going to play. No more grand dreams about going to the planets, or to other stars. Now, only little political dreams about everyone playing in the sandbox, making each other feel good. Now, the main goals of the agency are to mostly stay on the ground and inspire children – and Muslims. This is so bizarre as to call into question the President’s state of mind 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. Bolden’s trip included a June 15 speech at the American University in Cairo. In that speech, he said in the past NASA worked mostly with countries that are capable of space exploration. But that, too, has changed in light of Obama’s Cairo initiative. “He asked NASA to change…by reaching out to ‘non-traditional’ partners and strengthening our cooperation in the Middle East, North Africa, Southeast Asia and in particular in Muslim-majority nations,” Bolden said. “NASA has embraced this charge.” “NASA is not only a space exploration agency,” Bolden concluded, “but also an earth improvement agency.” Our government has been taken over by incompetents: |

The upcoming film starring jihadist superstar Islamic Rage Boy, is entitled “Muzz Lightyear.’ “It’s sort of Toy Story meets the Arab Street,” said director John Lasseter. “Fans of the original might notice a few changes, though. For example, many people didn’t recognize Jessie sitting quietly to the side in her burka, but let me assure you–it’s the same old madcap Jessie! She’s just in a…more traditional role. And while some critics felt Ham’s death by stoning was too graphically violent for children, I felt that I had a duty to ‘keep it real’ as they say.” The film opens worldwide on May 1st.
