I assume this means Bush cuts to the manned space program had no impact, but Obama’s did, and that the Shah of Iran landed on the moon before Armstrong??
No, it has to do with Obummer’s NASA chief’s inane statements that NASA’s function is to foster American/Muslim relations.
Not return to the moon, not go to Mars, not develop the successor to the space shuttle - no, according to that numbskull (and no doubt according to his bozo boss), NASA is supposed to waste time and money sucking up to Muslims.
People somewhat grounded in this thing some of us know as reality will realize that
Bolden Denies Diplomatic Intent: Observing that no single nation, including the United States, would ever be able to travel beyond low-earth orbit or go to Mars without the help of other nations, administrator Bolden denied that diplomacy had driven President Obama’s directive for NASA to “reach out” to the Muslim world.
is a legitimate statement… especially considering all of the demands to cut costs. “Fix the budget, but my own projects and pork barrels are sacred.” No one means any of it.
” …before I became the NASA Administrator — [Obama] 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, math, and engineering.”

So Jaded, did you check the link to GOPUSA in the post?
Didn’t think so, because you’d have seen the prominent link to the video where the nitwit Bolden stands right up on his hind legs and solemnly pronounces that NASA should expend money and time doing public relations with Muslims.
Those of us grounded in reality understand what an idiotic idea it is for the US agency charged with space exploration to spend time and money sucking up to Muslims or any other particular ethnic/religious/whatever group.
It shows that Obamarx has no interest in space exploration, only in pandering to his far-left political base.
It might be noted that some of those “Muslim nations” have a better bank balance than we do. Maybe if we weren’t spending so much to blow them off the planet, we would still have the money to send our space program off it???
“So Jaded, did you check the link to GOPUSA in the post?”
No. I clicked on the GOP USA link and saw “GOP USA” on the banner, and I felt like my skin was being burned in holy fire from the blatant sin of being born such a minority. I’m not allowed to gaze on things of such purity.
GOP link was pathetic. Calling for Bolden to be fired because he did not articulate a full exploration policy along with his comments? Sounds more and more like the GOP are just anti-muslim.

This administration gets nuttier by the day.

Cut spending! Spend money to go to Mars! Kill Muslims! Stop terrorism! Fix BP’s oil leak! Government out of private business!
The conservatives have gone completely insane.
