North American Suckup Adminstration...

So lets take the Space out of NASA....

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.

Okay I understand that maybe someday Burka wearing women may be in space but dont we already have forigen relations offices?

Don't know should I laugh or cry. And I'm not even american.

Sailor Steve · 07-06-10, 10:14 AM

Gee, and here I always thought the foremost mission of America's space exploration agency was to...explore space.

Silly me.

Damn it that is a violation of General Order #1!

Starfleet Command will hear of this!

There's a lot of space inside some Muslims' heads. Sounds like a legit mission to me

In a scathing reaction former NASA Chief...

This should not be A goal of NASA, much less an important goal.

WTF. Seriously, WTF.

razark · 07-07-10, 09:37 AM

Oh, what the hell...

I mean why not? It'll give us something to do while we're busy not going anywhere.

The reason for this is simple. It is so easy to see.

The Space Shuttle Program is at an end. We are going to need another way to provide transport to and from orbit.

Obama intends to replace the Shuttle with flying carpets. Who else but the Islamic Peoples of the word know who to operate those tricky things? The answer of course is no one.

Enter Iran.

With its know how of making large Persian rugs--world famous--the flying carpet can achieve things that have only began to be dreamed of. Vast Persian rugs would be able to haul large payloads into space and later perhaps onward to mars and beyond.

Best of all it is all green friendly, no pollution, and when the flying carpet fleet becomes too aged to carry on they can be sold off in second hand shops to old aunts who need a rug for their summer room.

A win win for everyone.

I would have to agree with this. Why not, there are so may other crack headed notions on the table this one fits right in. I want my carpet made with the finest wool.

I don't mean to say the OB administration is out of touch with NASA and the space program.

I mean to say their out of touch with REALITY.!!!

krashkart · 07-07-10, 12:14 PM

If the White House wants to use NASA as an outreach to the Middle East, more power to them. I truly hope that their efforts to spread a better understanding of our strange and exotic civilization succeeds with beneficial results for all involved parties.

And while they are at it I would certainly hope that they stay on track with NASA's intended mission of exploring space. Mars is a long, long ways away from the primitive ISS missions.

Betonov · 07-07-10, 12:32 PM

What we need is another space race.
If ESA (european space agency) would also get their thumbs out their behinds and give a decent competition to NASA, situation on both sides of the atlantic would improve
