NASA’s Muslim outreach: Al Jazeera told first, SF Examiner’
“Lawmakers across Capitol Hill, both Democrats and Republicans, were surprised to learn recently that the Obama administration has made reaching out to Muslim nations a top priority for the space agency NASA. They will probably be more surprised to learn that administration officials told the Middle East news organization Al Jazeera about it before they told Congress.”
Keith’s note: Oh how lazy we all are. ESPECIALLY the media. Use Google, once in a while. You might learn something.

We must not discard greatest innovator in history, Walt Cunningham, Houston Chronicle, 27 Feb 2010
“In the place of the canceled Ares and Orion hardware, we now have increased support for education, increased spending on the discredited global warming hypocrisy and subsidies to several new commercial rocket companies. And, oh yes, don’t forget a new outreach program to Muslim countries without established space programs.”
