As has been under-reported, NASA has a new mission: manned missions to Jupiter, Saturn? Well, not exactly. According to NASA Director, Charles Bolden, in a July 5, 2010 interview, the new directives are these:
- Re-inspire children in math and the sciences.
- Expand international relationships, in particular reach out to the Muslim world.
Anyone else? No?
So the Space administration is no longer going to be primarily interested in "space"...save for the space required to accommodate some sort of special Muslim area, sort of like what's being planned in New York at Ground Zero.
The re-inspiration of children presumably will take place until at such time it interferes with directive number 2 above. If these are the new directives, how will NASA inspire children to break boundaries, surpass what's been done, or have a vision for the future when the space agency itself will apparently be static and resting upon its accomplishments of long ago?
Obama's directive is to reach out to the Muslim world - a specific religion - not the Arab world. So is he conferring his presidential favor upon one religion in favor of others? How does that sit Constitutionally? And why devote an entire governmental agency to Muslim outreach, doesn't Obama think that his public bowing, scraping, and pandering to his jihadi friends has been enough?
I'm growing more and more disgusted with this silly and dangerous president who weakens the United States.
