Pop Quiz: Which 3 priorities did Obama give the head of NASA when he took the job? (Hint, none of them involve space exploration.)

"When I became the NASA administrator, [Obama] charged me with three things," NASA head Charles Bolden said in a recent interview with the Middle Eastern news network al-Jazeera. "One, 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."

  - Even a hastily re-animated zombie Abe Lincoln could probably come up with far wiser priorities for a space program. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 6, 09:31

  - Assuming I understand this conversation correctly, the GOP needs to have someone they can stand up in front of voters. - Fuzzy Jul 6, 09:24
