WASHINGTON NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden said Tuesday that President Barack Obama has asked him to find ways to reach out to dominantly Muslim countries as the White House pushes the space agency to become a tool of international diplomacy.
In addition to the nations that most of you usually hear about when you think about the International Space Station, we now have expanded our efforts to reach out to non-traditional partners, said Bolden, speaking to a lecture hall of young engineering students.
Specifically, he talked about connecting with countries that do not have an established space program and helping them conduct science missions. He mentioned new opportunities with Indonesia, including an educational program that examines global climate change.
We really like Indonesia because the State Department, the Department of Education [and] other agencies in the U.S. are reaching out to Indonesia as the largest Muslim nation in the world. We would love to establish partners there, Bolden said.

Here's how... http://www.supportconstellation.com

"Nowhere is this more important than our next frontier: space. Nowhere do we so effectively demonstrate our technological leadership and ability to make life better on Earth. The Space Age is barely a quarter of a century old. But already we've pushed civilization forward with our advances in science and technology. Opportunities and jobs will multiply as we cross new thresholds of knowledge and reach deeper into the unknown.
Our progress in space, taking giant steps for all mankind, is a tribute to American teamwork and excellence. Our finest minds in government, industry and academia have all pulled together. And we can be proud to say: We are first; we are the best; and we are so because we're free. "America has always been greatest when we dared to be great. We can reach for greatness again. We can follow our dreams to distant stars, living and working in space for peaceful, economic, and scientific gain." -Ronald Wilson Reagan
I wonder what Crist has to say now about ZERO.
Seriously.
Outreach to islamic fascist instead of space travel....I’ll accept that if we are sending them to space never to return.
Better yet leave the facists radicals behind in their mudholes to go extinct while we free peoples expand into the solar system.
How about if NASA develops some nuclear ICBMs and “reaches out” to a few Islamic countries with those?
LOL! Someone send this to the idiot NASA employees who voted for Hussein and jerk a*s Bill Nelson.
Obama the muslim punked Bill Nelson.
It is unconstitutional for the government to recognize any religion, for any purpose.
This has got to be satire/humor from that Onion Crappleface site, right?
Please tell me it’s so.
Hey Zero, you freaking idiot, most of these Muslim countries don’t even have indoor plumbing, but you want NASA to reach out to them! Now I have heard everything!
W-T-F?????
Kennedy....challenged us to reach the moon...and return....by the end of the decade.
Obama.....says ‘screw the moon, kiss Muslim ass’.
My, how the Democratic Party has fallen.
That is so funny, barry following the US Constitution.
I wouldn’t want a muslim in a space craft with me where opening a door is as good as a bomb.
Honor killings in space?
They can be the Moonslims.
