Perhaps now, NASA can focus on its primary mission - exploration of the "Muslim World." as I wrote about back in February: Mission creep: NASA, by order of Obama, plans more outreach to Muslim countries. And guess what? The same NASA administrator Charlie Bolden at the center of the current controversy basically said the same thing 6 months ago with far less media attention:
NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden said Tuesday that President Barack Obama has asked him to “find ways to reach out to dominantly Muslim countries” as the White House pushes the space agency to become a tool of international diplomacy.
“In addition to the nations that most of you usually hear about when you think about the International Space Station, we now have expanded our efforts to reach out to non-traditional partners,” said Bolden, speaking to a lecture hall of young engineering students.Ah, Indonesia - Barry's old stomping grounds where he was raised in a madrassa. Well isn't that special?
Specifically, he talked about connecting with countries that do not have an established space program and helping them conduct science missions. He mentioned new opportunities with Indonesia, including an educational program that examines global climate change.
“We really like Indonesia because the State Department, the Department of Education [and] other agencies in the U.S. are reaching out to Indonesia as the largest Muslim nation in the world. We would love to establish partners there,” Bolden said.Fact is, as I opined recently, Obama formulated his NASA mission back in June 2009 when he went to Cairo to, among other things, make Muslims feel better about their scientific accomplishments. It was an epic fail. Every advancement Obama attributed to the Muslim world was actually invented by someone else. From a prior post of mine last year: Obama In Cairo: Barack The "Student Of History" Flunks Remedial Basic Islam. Here is part of Obama's speech with the technical claims made about 2 1/2 minutes in:It's all consistent, from Obama's failure in Cairo to Bolden's statement earlier this year to his most recent statement. Obama truly is flying NASA backwards in time to reach out to the planet known as the 'Muslim World.'
