Skip to 1m 10s. Did he really just say that? NASA’s foremost priority right now is improving relations with the Muslim world?
Once again President Obama just can’t get priorities straight. While there’s nothing wrong with inspiring kids in science and getting international support for the space program, it’s perplexing that those would be the top priorities for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Those sound like jobs for the Departments of Education and State. No wonder NASA has decided to cancel the Constellation Program which would build rockets for reaching the moon. I guess we can’t do that by ourselves. We must need international support and approval first. With all due respect to the president and NASA, if we are going to compete with countries like China, who have their own ambitious space plans, we are going to need to be a little bit more aggressive and self-reliant.
