NASA Administrator: My Chief Mission Is Muslim Outreach

From The Audacity Of Hypocrisy:

Obama’s NASA Chief: Muslim Outreach is My Foremost Mission‎ (Yes, Obama is not a Muslim /Sarc)


Posted by adminJuly 6, 2010NASA 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,” Bolden said in the interview.

Here are my submissions for Muslim contributions to aerospace.  They made all of their contributions on 9/11/2001:
