Mission Creep At NASA

Does President Obama see America going back to the Moon? Nope. Mars? Nope. NASA's new mission is to make Muslims feel good about themselves:

“When I became the NASA administrator, [Obama] charged me with three things,” NASA head Charles Bolden said in a recent interview with the Middle Eastern news network al-Jazeera. “One, 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.”


Unbelievable.

In Saudi Arabia women are prohibited from driving a car, much less a space shuttle. Since President Obama wants NASA to stop sending men and women into space anyway, I guess we've already adopted Saudi policy.
