NASA Chief Charles Bolden talking to Al Jazeera in a recent interview where Bolden was asked why he was visiting the Middle East Region. Bolden said he was “excited” to be in the area, and the proceeded to give a bizarre answer that revealed that President Obama himself had charged Bolden with finding ways to help Muslims “feel good” about their historic contributions to science, math, and engineering:
NASA Chief: Next Frontier Better Relations With Muslim World
FOX News
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.”
“It is a matter of trying to reach out and get the best of all worlds, if you will, and there is much to be gained by drawing in the contributions that are possible from the Muslim (nations),” he said. He held up the International Space Station as a model, praising the contributions there from the Russians and the Chinese.
In the same interview, Bolden also said the United States, which first sent men to the moon in 1969, is no longer capable of reaching beyond low earth orbit without help from other nations.

Krauthammer on Obama’s NASA Muslim Outreach Program

Wild Thing’s comment………
OMG , Obama personally asks the NASA Administrator to reach out to predominantly Muslim nations and help them feel good about their contributions to science. This is a priority with Muslim Obama. He needs to be president of some Muslim country NOT the USA. Obama shouldn’t come near anything American.
He said better interaction with the Muslim world would ultimately advance space travel.
The Sand Savages are such noted rocket scientists. sheesh I wonder who will be the first to orbit the earth in a suicide vest?
Can someone please explain to me what on earth “better relations with the Muslim world” has to do with our space program?
Where do Obama and his master Soros find these horrible people. Would it be possible to freeze-dry him and blast him beyond the solar system as a sort of statement to the universe?
JFK wanted NASA to go to the moon.
Where does Obama want NASA to go?
Americans walked on the moon 41 years ago. Mooslimes ride around on donkeys to this day.
Just like the WTC is a spot where Muslims want to build a Mosque….which muslims know is the ultimate thumb in your eye….OBAMA the Muslim, now uses NASA as the ultimate thumb in the eye of America’s space program!
The mission of NASA has always been to explore space, and advance American science and technology in the process. The wonders of the Mars explorations, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the planetary probes—as well as the now-”ancient” voyages to the moon—have enriched us all!
But in the era of Barack Hussein obama, even NASA is hijacked to serve one of Hussein’s primary objectives—to sell us out to the muslims!!!!
If the muslims succeed in conquering large areas of the world, including America (which is their aim), there will be NO MORE planetary and deep-space exploration. Space will only be used for military purposes, and for such communications applications as to spread propaganda to islam’s captive populations, and to block communication from any parts of the world that remain free of islamic conquest.
Obama’s misuse of NASA is yet one more sign of what his evil plans for our country really are.
when I went back to school there were about 10-12 mooslimes in the circulum. During tests, they would all sit together and talk amongst themselves in Arabic of course and they all cheated. One time I missed a test, when I came in they offered me a cheat sheet, from the test they all had passed collectively, I refused and said no thanks, if I’m going to blow this test I’ll do it on my own.
This was the only way they could pass, was to cheat, at least thats what their actions said.
So now obama want to reach out to mooslimes to send them into space, I don’t think thats a bad idea but I doubt we can build enough rockets to speed these Ragheads into space toward their ultimate demise.
Just another reason to get rid of this raghead asshat. He wants to give them our technology so they can effectively launch missiles at us.
Short Explination: Those in muslim contries who beleive in space can not remain in the eighth century and will become a force for reform.
I think that it is Bull, but I spend enough time at the War College in Newport RI to have heard the theory from several sources.
The pressure in Washington to suck up is so great that the civil servants are moving when they do not even know who to suck-up to.
Did you see where Barny Frank itends to roll the UsS back to the horse chargs as out highest military technology?
Hi Mark,
We can start off low tech and see if they can fly on carpets out of the back of cargo planes.
I could have never dreamed of something this far fetched. NASA and muslims. Damn! The only thing I can think of is that the traitor obama can pass tech secrets to the Russians and Chinese through the muzzies. The only tech I want to give the muslims is an A bomb on mecca.
Also, what are Charles Bolden”s credentials? Where did he come from?
WTF? Muslim lands’ contributions to science and math ended in medieval times… and this faux diplomatic mission is what our space (yes, SPACE) guy is going around to muslim countries doing? Any muslims who even want to go drag the brethren into modern times using space are going to get beheaded as kafirs by the rest who want to party like it’s 799.
Given that others’ comments have been approved before mine has, I can only assume you’ve gone ahead and censored me, which is by all accounts both ANTI-AMERICAN and ANTI-FREEDOM.
Sad, because I don’t at all disagree with the overarching question in this post: Do we need the participation from Muslim nations? Do we need NASA’s chief going on a diplomatic mission?
Though, in my view, NASA has long been the olive branch of our nation, sometimes successfully, other times ineffectual.
How bout we start with listing the number of Arab/Muslim Nobel winners, in the field of Science versus the number of Israelis, and others who are Jewish.
BGD, it is no big deal. I do not leave comments open for anyone that I have not put on the approved list, since those on the left have shown they cannot make comments and are only able to attack others at my blog and then the left’s mantra to blame Bush constantly. There are plenty of leftie blogs for those on the left to leave a comment so this obsession with wanting to get your comment through is silly to me.
If that is as you say “anti-American and anti-Freedom” then I suggest you take on the media with its many lies and slants against Conservatives and your president Obama and his threats to those speaking the truth. Odd how that does not bother you….and instead your upset I did not let your other comment through. LOL
The left including obama use threats, intimidation, lies and outright silencing those of us conservatives and this is a proven fact. My blog is a place where mostly like minded people can gather to share, give input and rant to their hearts content. Like sitting around a friends living room and discussing the events of the day.
BGD, I got it, big goofy democrat ? Maybe he’s off his medication or Kool ade.
But no matter. As I recall the last contribution to Math or Science by an Arab was I think 1146 AD, they came up with a form of the Golden Ratio, which by the way had been discovered by the Greeks at least 800 years before, maybe it was stolen, knowing Arabs thats a good possibility or maybe it took the persians that long to decipher the letter Phi or the name the Devince Ratio created obatacles. They did get the right answer but the solution is tedius and not what the Greeks intended.
This is the extent of their contribution, (except for Magic Carpets and persian rugs and even they go in a circle)to the modern world. Other than that they learn mostly in American Universities.
Is this really the best use of NASA? We have other offices set up for political relationship building.
NASA is a somewhat revered American institution. Therefore, it needs some tarnish. It’s part of the strategy to demoralize and tear down that which brings us together.
All that creep is doing is redistributing and redirecting funds for political purposes. This is a ignorant decision and will bring him down one way or another.
