Isn't NASA now to be used for "Muslim Outreach"? I wasn't aware there were Muslims living on asteroids.

I guess someone in the Obama group liked the earth-saving asteroid movie “Armageddon.” I can’t think of any other reason for this.

Put Obama on an asteroid within 15 days.

"I wasn't aware there were Muslims living on asteroids."Me either, I thought they were mostly found around hemmoroids.

Too big of a step. We should look at a longer stay on the moon first. Kinda pick up where we left off.
On the other hand, the time required in space to visit an asteroid might actually spur some innovation in shielding technology.

They have presidential orders to to send astronauts to an asteroid in less than 15 years. When Kennedy issued the challenge of the moon, he made sure to specify sending a man to the moon "and return him safely to Earth".
Don't see any such language here.

Why is an asteroid better than Mars? Wouldn’t Mars be easier?

This is madness. There is nothing an astronaut can do to an asteroid that a robot cannot do better.

Hey! This is really clever.
The mass of the largest asteroid is about 1/300 the mass of the Moon. I'm too lazy to calculate the escape velocity from Vesta, but my guess is that an uncovered sneeze could send and astronaut hurtling off into random areas of the solar system.

Football field-sized solar panels would help, meaning the entire mothership complex would be fairly large. Or, a small nuclear isotope reactor could do it at a 1/4 of the weight and complexity.

This is a matter of sending 'humans farther than ever before', said Nasa Deputy Administrator Lori Garver. Duh, Lori... and to think, she is in management.

An asteroid is a giant space rock that orbits the sun, like Earth. And someday one might threaten the planet. But sending people to one won't be easy. It won't be easy because who can plot such a mission in one week's time which seems to be scientists' warning time frame on the "near misses" they've boasted about in the past 5 years.

How and with what? The boy king cancelled our heavy lifts, we’re going to have to pay, and handsomely at that, for another country to lift us into space. I doubt that they want to do something so fundamentally insane as to try to navigate a space body that has no gravity.
Some idiot has been watching too many movies.

No, it’s not. Ignore the idiot in the Administrator’s office.
