Oh, great, they had already planned to waste this part of my money.[/quote]
I think they are actually federally mandated to but I might be wrong on that. I used to work in Hispanic advertising in the US. Most companies dump their diversity budget on the first person that rings them up and asks for it.

1,400 inventions . . . google it - it will blow your mind how much NASA and its private contractors have added to humanity over the last 50 years or so.
We have every right to be proud of them and this nonsense is just that - nonsense - let’s fund them for their primary mission and see what other amazing accomplishments we can acheive.[/quote]
It probably isn’t diverting any funds from anywhere though. Most groups have diversity budgets, NASA is just using its diversity budget to target Mulsims in the same way as in the past it has probably targeted women and black people. Gays are probably up next.[/quote]
This has absolutely nothing to do with some “diversity budget”. The director of NASA said that his direction was to make “making the Muslim world feel good” his FOREMOST priority. This is not some side project. Every time I think I’ve heard every idiotic thing this administration can possibly concoct, we get another whopper like this. This whole damn administration might as well work for NASA, because their brains are in outer-fucking-space.
I consider Nasa’s and it’s partners’ endeavours to be the greatest human achievements, so far.
And I deeply pity those who cannot see that.
If they inspire something in the so called “Muslim world”, that’d be truly a beacon of inspiration.
So far, the west only managed to unite “them” in hate, ignorance and superstition.
Mayhap Nasa shall manage more then that…

The problem is…kids aren’t even allowed to say the Pledge of Allegiance in school because it has “God” in it, ten commandments are out of every building because it has to do with God, etc. You know good and well if NASA had an outreach program targeting Christians it would be shut down so fast your head would spin. It is NASA, not Vacation Bible School.[/quote]

But from the outside,it surely looks like he is diluting NASA’s mission.[/quote]
That’s the goal.

Maybe NASA should reinform the history of the German’s in Science, Technology, and engineering. They were on the top till the end of WWII. All the scientists came to America just before and after the war. It is ok schwartzenfarter. Germany might have another day in the sun. Middle East on the other hand not so likely, unless the rulling party, clerics, give up their strangle hold on the public.

Replace “All the scientists came to America” with “All the scientists were forced to come to America” and we’re in business. The Americans and Soviets desperately wanted the V2 Rocket technology the Germans developed. So we took all the scientists prisoner and made them work on our projects (Soviets grabbed their share too). There was a funny saying in the rocket business back in the day “Our Nazis are better than your Nazis”.
Eventually, we gave the scientists citizenship when we knew they wouldn’t run away.
But alas, I was born during the shuttle era and missed all the cool shit

Good catch. I knew someone would would bring up the Soviets got their share of the scientists and technology. I think the Soviets got the lions share of the technology because they were first to Berlin. Albert Einstein and the other guy that did the V2 rocket both came to america which helped us. We got the brains, and the Soviets got the technology so they coule reengineer it.

We got Wernher von Braun which was the person both the United States and the Soviets wanted. Without him, we would have never have developed the Saturn V.

Thank you for his name. I could not think of it. I agree.
so how is this different to Reagan saying that NASA was a good way of reaching out to the Soviets during the cold war?

Uh. Maybe because the soviet’s had a manned space program.
You know, they could “reach out” and work together in space.
Just when you think obama couldn’t be more idiotic, here we are.
If I were a 2008 obama voter (perish the thought), I’d be looking long and hard at my primary sources of information. The next election cycle, I’d be very suspicious of cnn/msnbc/abc/cbs and nbc. I’d realize they were/are selling a very poor product.

The soviets had technology that would greatly benefit NASA in the exploration of space. NASA would have greatly benefited in their primary objective reaching out to the soviets.
Besides, Gibbs took it back.

by definition a terrier hunts vermon, an american pit bull terrier was breed to fight to the death against another “well breed fighting machine” ,
NASA is not a PR firm. Diplomacy has it’s place, but you lose respect from people all you do is bend over and take it all the time.
