Obama's Primary Mission For NASA - Make Muslim Nations Feel Good !?!

This comes from Charles Bolden, head of NASA, during an Al Jazeera interview. This is the line; "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, once the preeminent research/scientific discovery establishment, has now been transformed into an origination designed to make Muslims feel good. Whats more, not feel good about anything they have managed to accomplish recently, but their historic contribution. I wonder why that is...

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.


Later in the interview, Bolden discussed NASA’s goal of greater international cooperation in space exploration."
