NASA's new vision is making the rounds lately. Of all the things Charlie has said, this one really doesn't bother me that much. It's stupid, but so what?
"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."
Fine, whatever. What I find alarming is that with NASA's future in the biggest pickle it has been in since its inception, what the hell is Charlie doing talking to al-Jazeera? I'm a big fan of the march to obsolescence, but do you have to run at it? Also, I'm not one to read Malkin without throwing up, but these logos made me laugh for a bit.
