I saw this headline on the internet and thought that this has got to be one of the biggest jokes around. Well I had to click on the link to find out what it was joking about. Really, what would NASA have to do with fixing relations with anyone. There job is space exploration. I have noticed over the years how the space program has really been declining. I have read and heard about the space shuttles being retired or it being their last trip to space and on and on. What ever happened to going back to the moon or exploring Mars? Let me just clip some of the article that I read about NASA and what President Obama has in store for them.
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.
Really?! You have got to be kidding me. Why should we cater to “The Muslim World” ? Why don’t we start catering to the “Israeli” World instead. What are these hooligans doing in Washington? Obviously not working for us. I think every single person in Washington needs to be reprimanded for not representing the people who voted for them and sent home.
