[quote]NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said in a recent interview that his "foremost" mission as the head of America's space exploration agency is to improve relations with the Muslim world.
Though international diplomacy would seem well outside NASA's orbit, Bolden said in an interview with Al Jazeera that strengthening those ties was among the top tasks President Obama assigned him. He said better interaction with the Muslim world would ultimately advance space travel.
"When I became the NASA administrator -- or before I became the NASA administrator -- he 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 ... and math and engineering," Bolden said in the interview.
The NASA administrator was in the Middle East last month marking the one-year anniversary since Obama delivered an address to Muslim nations in Cairo. Bolden spoke in June at the American University in Cairo -- in his interview with Al Jazeera, he described space travel as an international collaboration of which Muslim nations must be a part.
"It is a matter of trying to reach out and get the best of all worlds, if you will, and there is much to be gained by drawing in the contributions that are possible from the Muslim (nations)," he said. He held up the International Space Station as a model, praising the contributions there from the Russians and the Chinese.
However, Bolden denied the suggestion that he was on a diplomatic mission -- in a distinctly non-diplomatic role.
"Not at all. It's not a diplomatic anything," he said.
He said the United States is not going to travel beyond low-Earth orbit on its own and that no country is going to make it to Mars without international help.
Bolden has faced criticism this year for overseeing the cancellation of the agency's Constellation program, which was building new rockets and spaceships capable of returning astronauts to the moon. Stressing the importance of international cooperation in future missions, Bolden told Al Jazeera that the moon, Mars and asteroids are still planned destinations

This country is becoming an insane asylum. Any advances the Arabs made in math and science occurred long before Islam took a hold of the region.

I wish we could send them (the Muslims) to Mars.

WTF!???? This administration is completely INSANE!!!

NASA shifts focus from space exploration to improving relations with MUSLIMS!!!
Hmmm... NASA may be planning to shift to moon along with all muslamics sitting at the back of the flying horse buraq.
;D :laugh: :::D

You guys are missing the big picture here. NASA stands for National AERONAUTICS and Space Administration. It's not all about space flight. Don't you see the advantage of partnering with the Arab muslims what with their advanced knowledge and ability to make carpets fly without the need for engines or fuel? This would be an immensely great stride in aeronautical technology that, apparently, no other culture has been able to achieve.

Incredible !
BHO moves forward with his agenda of promoting the Muslims by whatever means he can. The instructions he has given to his affirmative action - appointed NASA administrator are truly reminiscent of Bolshevik practises.
Islam has contributed NOTHING to science.

NASA must be attempting hard to catch up with the technology.

What the hell does NASA have to do with muslims? WTF!? Seriously!? How about the US Postal Service? Maybe they want to get all warm and fuzzy with muslims too! And the Food & Drug Administration, don't you think they should improve relations with muslims also? This is bizarre!!!

Smn sht tht nggr.

Isn't it obvious to most Americans what's behind this in the White House?! Even one fox news reporter didn't get it and was asking stupid questions out loud.
