Default 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.

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

Silly me.

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

In a scathing reaction former NASA Chief...

"NASA ... represents the best of America. Its purpose is not to inspire Muslims or any other cultural entity," Michael Griffin, who served as NASA administrator during the latter half of the Bush administration, told FoxNews.com.

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

WTF. Seriously, WTF.
