The Obama Administration has put forth its FY 2017 NASA budget proposal, according to GeekWire. The overall spending level is $19 billion, an almost $300 million cut from the current fiscal year. Much of the money comes out of the development for the Orion deep space vehicle and the heavy lift Space Launch System, the very basis of the space agency’s plans for exploring deep space beyond low Earth orbit.

What do you think Obama would wish to have planted in the soil of Mars or the moon rather than the American flag?

Of, course!

Mohammedan 8th Century science has yet to be proven correct, so why waste money on some trivial thing, where the women cannot wear the beekeeper outfits in space?

Hmmm. I guess there wasn’t as many past Muslim scientific accomplishments as they had originally thought.
