NASA: The Next Generation
— Gabriel Malor

Let's face it, you hear about NASA in the news these days and you don't think about moon landings. You're as likely to hear about NASA's global warming studies as you are a shuttle launch, salt evaporation projects as interplanetary probes.

This isn't your father's NASA. This is NASA: The Next Generation, where every bold step is tempered by a nagging shrew with fuzzy feelings and faint fears. No longer do we aim for the stars; the new mission is to aim at petty squabbles right here at home.

Enter Obama:

In the video below, Charles Bolden, head of NASA, tells Al Jazeera that the "foremost" task President Obama has given him is "to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with predominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering." Thus, NASA's primary mission is no longer to enhance American science and engineering or to explore space, but to boost the self-esteem of "predominantly Muslim nations."

Exploring space didn't even make the top three things Obama wants Bolden to accomplish. The other two are "re-inspire children to want to get into science and math" and "expand our international relationships,"

Longtime readers know that I am only cool at best toward modern government-funded, government-run space exploration. But this is ridiculous. Let the State Department fret about Muslim self-esteem. State has much greater experience stroking barbarians with inadequacy complexes. If we're going to have a space program, it better be directed at space.

This is what you get when you elect a muslim sympathizing foreigner that has nothing but contempt for this nation. Of course we have eunuchs on the Right that get the vapors when you point out this inconvenient truth. But who cares? For all intents and purposes this nation has become a banana republic; the Constitution isn't adhered to, state constitutions are not adhered to [CA], so why would we expect the left to folllow constitutional law when it comes to public officials? These swine support pedophiles and crackheads in office so lets not pretend it's beyond the pale for the leftwing vermin to have put an impostor in the White House.

28 Gabe, the State Department is already sucking up to Muslims, and has been doing so for years. Those unconnected, glue-sniffing, striped-pants asswipes think everything can be solved through talk. So far, they've been proven spectacularly wrong.

I understand why Osama Obama is ordering this reprehensible change in NASA's mission (he's a Muslim, after all), but let's not forget that GW Bush "reached out" to Islam after some of their people killed 3000 of us on 9/11 ("...only a tiny handful of Muslims, blah blah blah...").

This is sick behavior, and the Traitor-in-Chief is taking it to a whole new (lower) level.

Once the Chicago Jesus is finally thrown out of office, State has to be revamped. So does NASA; anyone who can parrot this kind of lunacy with a straight face is unfit for employment.

29 Remember that pic of the fly landing on Obama's face and he didn't do anything?  That is a learned behavior, I see it all the time here in the Middle-East.  He is a muslem.

126 The child psychologist Haim Ginott, decades ago, made the distinction between "appropriate praise" and "inappropriate praise". Praising ancient advances in mathematics and ascribing them to Islam is a gold-plated example of "inappropriate praise", which leads the intended praisee (the modern Muslim) to distrust and lose respect for the praiser. But it is consistent with the idiotic ethnic studies self-esteem programs so prevalent in our universities. Mass murderers, criminals and delinquents already have higher self-esteem than the general population.

If you can't remember when they did that, it was because said Muslims invented NONE of them. Those inventions were the product of ignorant, backward, barbaric European in the 4th-15th centuries.That was while the Muslims were looting civilized regions (East Romans, Persians, Indians)and taking credit for their stuff, then abasing themselves before more vicious and successful looters (Turks, Mongols).

The problem of Obama's Islam, or not, depends on whether you apply sharia or western law and what you believe about him personally.  The interesting wrinkle, of course, is the Islamic death penalty for adult male apostates.    

I've seen convincing evidence Obama considered himself (or adults considered him) a Muslim as a child and later in life.  Reverend Wright's church got a seal of approval from the Muslim Brotherhood which was quietly ignored when it happened.  Could be relevant to the apostasy debate, which is not taking place.

I'm half convinced myself that he's a convert as a kid but sort of a jack Muslim now.. He can eat, drink and smoke whatever he wants but when the time comes and he needs to pray, he's facing Mecca.

That's what I think.  But I've always wondered what about Michelle and his girls when the Muslims come to power.  Michelle isn't a true femnist, in that she has actually accomplished anything by her own ability, but she is immodest in her dress and opens her stupid, big mouth in public any time she feels like it.  Well, those are grounds for execution with the peace-loving Muslims.

Repaint in snazzy new Islamic green, with pretty yellow lettering. Shoot the first set of missile mechanics because they fed the operator's manuals to their goats. 3. Announce new innovative weaponry that's far more advanced than anything in the West. Attach grainy lo-res video of slightly altered 60's-era Chinese missile launches to the press release.

159 It probably makes total sense to Barry to use NASA for his political ends.  It worked so well with global warming, which is now taught as fact and presented as truth for the enlightened in every Disney movie or National Geographic special.

Apparently AGW propaganda must be included in these films to get more funding, whether private or public.  "Coral Reef Adventure" said one reef was dying ... they claimed several times it was because of global warming, yet other reefs were fine, and they actually showed that reef had problems because of a poor logging operation dumping mud into a river, clouding the reef water.

Big government and big corporations seem fully committed to using propaganda for their hopium wet dreams.  If they can coopt trusted organizations, they can get away with a boatload of BS ... but the BS boat may have jumped the shark this time.

I believe Obastard is a muslim sympathizer/Manchurian Candidate.  But I doubt he believes in anything other than communism.  I'm sure he never prays to anything, at least not in anything more than mere words.  He considers himself way too sophisticated.  He's actually worse than that.  A person who sides with Islam, yet does not believe it in the religious sense, is even worse than a normal muslim.  Many believing muslims think that if they don't go along with the death cult, "Allah" will punish them in his harsh, legalistic afterlife.  They are essentially coerced.  But for someone to join forces with them, of his own free will because it is expedient, is a degenerate who bears total moral responsibility for all the filthy wickness that Islam generates wherever it is found.  He is fully culpable as a co-conspirator in rape, FGM, murder, and all the other vices and suffering that Islam is responsible for.  No one is putting a gun to his soul.  He has no fear of muslim Hell. 

The only time I feel the slightest pity for that traitor is when I contemplate that the real Hell is waiting for him when the world if finally relieved of his presence.

A couple months ago, my wife and I took our youngest son to a panel discussion to mark the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 13 mission. The panelists were Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, Gene Kranz, Milt Windler, and Gerald Griffin. It was an honor to be in the same room as those men.

The panelists took pre-screened questions; one of which was, "If you knew it was so dangerous, why did you go?" A very age-of-Obama question. Lovell's answer, though, got to the heart of the matter: that they were test pilots and used to risk; but mainly, they thought it was worth it.

Bold men, who achieved great things. At a once-great agency that is now reduced to stroking the egos of barbarians.

Right.  Saracens - as they were known - transmitted some things from Greek, Byzantine Roman, and Asian culture to the medieval Europeans.  There was also a great deal of interaction from the Crusades.    

Averroes gave Aristotle and Plato to late medieval scholastics like Aquinas whose ancestors had burned them.  But it's not like the Muslims wrote it.  And Averroes other contributions have been blown up far beyond reality. 

The problem with all "best medieval scientists or doctors..." arguments is the medieval period lacked in science and medicine compared to either what came before or after.  Not counting castles and catapults of course.  They stacked up pretty well.  So Muslims would slap on a mud poultice instead of amputating the arm.  It's not exactly an MRI and vascular surgery.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't fundamentalist Muslims believe that there is only one, single, solitary field of study for mankind, and that's the Koran?  Isn't every other field, such as science and math and what-not, considered un-Iislamic?

So won't this just make them madder?

I think we should build better rockets, moon colonies, a mission to Mars, etc.  And let the Muslims eat sand.

I'm incredulous that soon we won't even be able to launch a man into orbit anymore.  As a kid, I wrote to NASA all the time asking for info about various projects.  It was free for the asking.  I stayed up and watched the moon landing.

Thanks B-HO for gutting one of the things that truly inspired me as a kid.  I'm afraid the rest of the country isn't far behind.

199 This just in: Obama administration to turn Neil Armstrong museum in Wapakoneta, OH into a mosque & Muslim education center.

You all think I'm just full if it, right? Wait a couple of years...

200 isn't it the department of education's job to "inspire" our children in education?

More so the parents.  Of course all the things that used to inspire young men to become scientists and engineers (loud, fast, explosive, and generally dangerous shit) are all largely illegal or would get them arrested for terrorism these days.

The purpose of the space program should be to take, secure and exploit the high ground of space for the security of the United States. 

The Chinese are not as stupid as Obama.

203 "al-miraj (miraj): The Prophet ascended to the heaven on stairs, called al-mirqat, in which one step is made of gold and the next of silver, and so on. These stairs are veiled from us. The Prophet ascended these stairs until he reached the first heaven."


Well, so much for rockets.  Next up, NASA's new winged horse program.

204 THAT little PowerPoint presentation I would support, but of course they won't do that.

It gets even better when you make a list of the "muslims" between 650-1060 AD who made the great contributions. It comes out "Christian, Christian, Jew, Zoroastrian, Christian, Jew..."

Islam itself claims that it is the "final word" and bans innovation - this is one of the core ideas in Islamic culture.

Crap. I thought by 'reach out to Muslim Natios', I thought he meant 'figure out a way to wipe Islam off the earth without turning the middle east into glass' (making the oil easier to see, but harder to get to)'

One can always dream big...

206 Hmmmmm.

sigh.

NASA.  National Aeronautical Space Administration.

National= nope.
Aeronautical= do they have anything capable of flying?
Space= oh give it a rest.
Administration= well the paper pushers still have a desk.

Uh, the Muslim historic contributions to science, math, and engineering were to conquer people who studied science, math, and engineering, enslave them, and take credit for their discoveries.
 --  Hey, it's  a technique. 

The only way the words "muslims" and "space" should be included in expressing the same idea is when we're talking about mighty space lasers for wiping muslim nations off the face of the earth with firey death from above. 

Amen.  I'm with you on this one.
