um, relevance to NASA's charter purpose?

Why are we discussing 'The Muslim World'? Shouldnt an international effort for space exploration refer to them as 'The Arab World'?

Yes I know they are predominantly of the Muslim faith but this is a fail on the seperation of govt/religion maybe?

What would Obama like to see? Exploding space boots? Hijacked space stations?

Agreed. Talk about pandering.

Unless this is part of some secret strategy to increase job opportunities so that they don't resort to jihad. Which by the way is the biggest reason many of them become terrorists: They don't have anything else to do.

Don't they have opium or camel shrooms to turn to? Send our high school kids over there and they'll teach them how to deal with boredom and no job without purposely blowing yourself up.

Has the Arab world figured out the Earth isn't flat yet? I know for a while they were kicking ass with science but this Allah thing happend and they've seemed to stop.

You are talking about a society where less than 1% have access to video games, and where their ability to "get bitches" is severely constrained by their archaic cultural norms.

Nasa is the one of the only agencies I like wasting money on as a taxpayer.

Sounds like someone added his own talking points to make himself look good on an interview.
Next up..at a N.O.W. conference
"My top priority is to reach out to single, unattractive angry women across the world, to embolden them by allowing them to beat mean with used tampons."
