#1 Bolden is an Obama appointee, therefore? Corrupt:

Charles Bolden, the first African American to head NASA, is under fire for wanting to cancel a $10 million biofuels project. Supporters of this project include his deputy, Lori Carver. Bolden is being investigated by the NASA inspector general because he consulted on the project's merits with Marathon Oil, where he served on the board of directors and still holds up to $1 million in company stock. Marathon Oil has competing biofuels technology under development, which some suggest is the reason Bolden quashed the project. Bolden's actions in light of his relationship to Marathon Oil triggered the investigation. This is not looking good for a man with a storied career.

#2 ...a retired United States Marine Corps major general, and former NASA astronaut. A 1968 graduate of the United States Naval Academy, he became a Marine Aviator and test pilot. After his service as an astronaut, he became Deputy Commandant of Midshipmen at the Naval Academy.

His record belies his idiocy.

#3 Free trips to Venus for everyone! I hear tell Venus is PARADISE! People who take a vacation trip to Venus never want to return to Earth they like it so much. Better hurry up and move there before the Zionist claim it.

#5 "NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said in a recent interview that his "foremost" mission as the head of America's space exploration agency is to improve relations with the Muslim world."

That's it. We're fucked. America's self-abasement is complete.

#6 No! Not until I see the results of the Indonesian experiment - specifically what is considered a day (orbit or 24 hours) and apparatus to continually adjust direction towards mecca, and if altitude zenith over mecca actually exists.

Second, what are the effects if any on the amount of intensity of natural disasters on earth by having the United States of America flag on the moon instead of an Organization of Islamic National Countries flag?

And there is really no point in continuing propulsion technology and radiation protection until it can be decided that upon reaching Mars, does one worship its moon system or Earth's? And can one take an astroid chip from the belt for the Martian kabaa (if necessary see above)?

Results people, need results!

#8 This has to be a joke? How in the F can you make sense out of NASA improving relations with people who actually believe the contents of the Koran? Like using science to connect with 7th century tribesmen....oh wiat, thats Afghanistan now isn't it?

#9 I want to cry but I gouged my eyes out earlier this year. WTF. Also, Obama wants NASA to inspire children. Earth to Obama, they'd been doing that for over 50 years and it involved something known as SPACE. The only space Obama is aware of is that which exists between his ears.

#10 Reminds me about the old joke about why there are no Muslims in the otherwise exceedingly multiethnic crew on the starship Enterprise: Because the story is set in the future.
