It is odd but not that big of a deal. Bolden is right that in the future space travel will involve international cooperation, so there is nothing wrong with reaching out to other countries. We must have better people for such outreach than Bolden, however.

Really? If true, it is way far beyond odd and just further evidence that something is truly amiss in this admin. Even more disturbing is that a NASA administrator is now revealing Obama directives through Al Jazeera. Yeah, I find that a little odd.

Just like you said, but I don't even think it's odd.

If NASA is to be successful in future endeavors (i.e.: long-distance space travel), they cannot do it on their own. It will take the entire world to advance space travel beyond what it is today. Everyone else is pretty much on-board except for Muslim countries. So, let's get them on-board, and let's quit with the knee-jerk reactions.

Well if its just another rant it was by the guy Obama picked to lead NASA and this was a direct quote from him. This is what you get from a past community organizer. I guess with our presidents we've had dumb now we have dumber.

"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 [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]children[/COLOR][/COLOR] 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," Bolden said in the interview.

This is what you schmucks voted for, congratulations! Sometimes you just have to laugh. Don't worry, the military industrial complex can still put up weapons platforms with their other un-manned, "secret shuttle".
