NASA -- the National Aeronautics and Space Administration -- has had some lofty missions. (Think mission to the moon.) But now, it appears President Obama has diverted their focus from outter space to feel-good international politics.
In a June 30 interview with al Jazeera, NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said that his "perhaps foremost mission" is 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."
What's unclear is what Mr. Bolden believes the United States has to gain by reaching out to a part of the world that has been technologically stagnant for centuries.
