Sad times

Islam essentially stopped all advancement in science and technology several centuries ago. No Islamic country has contributed anything meaningful to the advancement of mankind in several hundred years.

   This could also fall into the “As if things couldn’t get any worse” department.  Since when is a space exploration agency also a diplomatic corps?  TXCHLInstructor also raises the point about Muslim countries having basically fossilized in the past several generations, in terms of technological development.

   If anything, they’ve even regressed in all aspects.  Even the Turks, who took another step by adopting some European technologies in its heyday during the 15th and 16th Centuries, only did so to be a bigger menace to the nations of Christendom that it was casting the hairy eyeball towards.

   This is another case of Sultan Obama running his mouth and nudging one of his pawns towards his faction’s goals.  I wouldn’t be surprised if the insane asylum being run by Pelosi and Reid are behind this.  After all, they’re on the verge of permanently crippling the United States.  Subordinating us to the tyrants of the world in space exploration would just be another step in the process.

This mandate from Obama is so stunningly lacking in sensibility it borders on impeachability for being stupid.

from another country, he is certainly from another planet.

I’m not aware of any significant Chinese contribution to the space station. Maybe he can’t tell the difference between the Japanese (who have built a major portion of the station, the “Kibo” module) and Chinese.

“According to Fox News, “[Bolden] said the United States is not going to travel beyond low-Earth orbit on its own and that no country is going to make it to Mars without international help”

I agree that international cooperation may be required, but from any Muslim country! Islam cannot not be trusted on ANY level, IMO. It’s time our leaders realize this. This move by Obama is an insult to America, and NASA!

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.”

and Obama does seem to have been exploring that his whole life, so it figures.

They came to wage Jihad on Earth!

Every American needs to hear this. If there was ever any doubt about the danger this president poses to this nation, this story eliminates it. If there were ever any doubt that he is not “of America” (which has nothing to do with where he was born!), this erases it.

I am an aerospace engineering professor by trade, and a huge number of our students, many of whom have lifelong dreams of being astronauts and/or working for NASA, were already steaming over the cancellation of the Constellation project. When they get wind of this new direction for NASA, it will have a chilling effect. NASA will find it extremely difficult to recruit these students for that mission, and it may even cause many of them to rethink their commitment to the aerospace field in general.

It is possible that I overemphasize the importance of this issue due to its direct connection to my livelihood, but I really think not. This gets to the very heart of our national pride and our collective dreams. It is definitely one giant leap backwards for mankind.

“So does that mean that the State Department is going to be tasked with trying to figure out how to get men to Mars?”

Congress from making ANY LAW regarding the establishment, the President is, somehow, EXEMPT from this requirement?

Please explain to me, in terms understandable for a two-year-old, Just how in hell he can do that? Better yet, what make him think he has that authority?

“…regarding the establishment of religion,…”

This is just one more instance of the Obama Regime’s efforts to undermind American exceptionalism. He is destroying our economy, our health system, our education system, and now our space program. We must take back congress so that we can IMPEACH this Communist Muslim dictator.

Until the US handed it over to them for the Apollo/Soyuz joint mission.

Sharia law, burkas, and female genital mutilation have much to contribute to NASA’s understanding of space. Like what, you ask? Umm… erm…

Even if international cooperation were to become a major goal for NASA, why the Muslim world? What do any Muslim countries, with the possible exceptions of Pakistan and Turkey, have to offer space travel, anyways? Wouldn’t India be a savvier choice? While we’re at it, why is NASA appealing to and facilitating a monochromatic view of Islam, instead of engaging in political outreach? Last I checked, the space programs funded by Imams is goose egg, so why isn’t their mission to appeal to specific countries, instead of a nebulous “Islam” which has vastly different interpretations and political application, depending on where one goes? Wouldn’t this be as foolish as if we tried to get Western European aid by appealing to Catholicism, or Lutheranism?

There is no good reason for this — none.

It’s either the ultimate example of mission creep or just another sign that the O is literally trying to destroy everything he touches…

Why has the O not been impeached yet for either absolute incompetence or treason? At this point I’d rather have the idiot Biden in charge for two years (or less if he quits/is fired) than the Alinsky radical…

one of the entries on Obama’s resume is “Constitutional Law Professor” while at Harvard University.

My question is: the Constitution of What Country? Nothing I’ve seen thus far in his nearly 19 months in office suggests that he knows anything at all about the Constitution of the country of which he is actually president.

I had actually wanted to post on this myself today but I didn’t have the time at work. I about fell out of my chair when I read the story on Fox News.com. It is beyond my comprhension how he is being allowed to get away with this.

Not to many months ago I was living in Titusville, FL across the river from the Cape. Right before I moved Obama announced that he was cutting 7000 jobs because the Space shuttle program was over. I guess the plan is to teach Muslims now. I was further shocked when the first line I read on Fox from the Director of NASA said his formost function was…are you kidding me foremost!?! How about checking on some satelights or keeping those big damn rocks from flying in to the Earth, instead of trying to make Muslims feel better about themselves.

I am truly at a loss anymore because people aren’t even really talking about this stuff at all. It’s like I have woken up in the Twlight Zone.

mean the invention of the roadside IED, because that is the only thing they have created in centuries. As far as their Math contribution unless they stole the formulas from some where else they can’t add 2+2.

I am really scared with this man now. I think he has something up his sleeve that will negate the Fall elections and create a puppet congress like Chivas did. It has been foretold that in the last days the constitution would hang by a thread and it surely is now. I am afraid that Hussein Obama has the knife to cut the thread.

Obama’s Re-Election Promise

The promise of “a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage” can be traced to Hoover’s 1928 Presidential campaign.
Well, Obama has twisted these words and is promising that if he is re-elected there will be “a chick in every car and some pot in every garage!”

the delays of the oil spill cleanup, suing AZ while not suing sanctuary cities or doing anything beyond the feeblest attempt to secure the borders, and well, we know the litany of insults this Alinsky acolyte is throwing at our country – it most certainly cannot be his country – lead to the conclusion that 0bama is deliberately trying to provoke unrest of some kind. It hurts to see all the damage his puppetmaster is directing 0bama to do to our country but everyone must stay cool, otherwise the intended use of the crisis of unrest will be martial law and the postponement of the November elections. This leaves us with 0bama’s boot firmly planted on our throats. It fits with 0bama’s and his advisers total lack of concern about the elections. Plenty of time for golf, says 0bama, while he gives the Constitution yet another rude hand sign.

Muslim extremists

Muslim mathmatecians contributed the zero to numerics …….that is exactly what Muslim science and academics has been contributing ever since …….

What the hell?

Why just NASA? Why not the Congressional Budget Office? The auditors can join in prayers to Mecca. Why not the Health Care Financing Administration? Those bureaucracts could wear burkas. How about the National Dairy Board? They could have the famers do outreach to Hadith scholars. Seriously though, the only rocket outreach any real American wants is the ICBM that targets Medina the next time there is a heinous mass murder of our fellow Countrymen at the hands of Islamic radicals.

But all this is typical for Comrade Obama’s apppointees. They are clueless & incompetent. But they just take orders from the top. No wonder we’re on day 76? in the Gulf – and the oil is still flowing, tens of thousands of barrels every day. Hey environmentalists, Bush would have stopped the spill weeks ago. He would have bombed it, no problem. But I suspect you environmentalists are ok with it. Never let a crisis go to waste: you got deep-water drilling stopped. No new permits in shallow water either. And now we learn the EPA has shut down 1/3 of the refineries in the United States. Economy fragile? Too Damn Bad. Comrade Obama is destroying the system. And our current deficit (1.4 trillion) is 4x that of Bush’s average deficit; and we’re bankrupting our children & grandchildren. For those of you who voted for Obama – what a smart pick. You really put that Ivy league education to good use.

Al Jazeera wasn’t the first time he made them. The Orlando Sentinel reported 2/16/10 he said basically the same thing to a group of engineering students. Not widely reported, said they wanted to reach out to Muslim countries, especially Indonesia since it is the largest Muslim country. Wanted to work with them on space programs and global warming outreach.
