Obama to propose massive rebuilding program

[General Zod]

Do you have any proof that that the two are linked? Or is this some stupid bullshit connection you made up?

They are linked in as much as they are the current objectives of NASA under the Obama administration. First, Obama shit canned Ares/Constellation wasting more than it would have cost to maintain the program by closing the program. Second, NASA announced that the replacement isn't on the drawing boards yet but will be better, promise plzkthxbye. Third, NASA announces that additional resources will now be used to promote NASA and space flight to Muslims around the world, for what ever reason.

Why not Hindu, Mormon or even Christian specific outreach? Why is religion involved in space flight in any way? Because that is the way Obama wants it. Can't speak as to why, but I can speak as to the stupidity of the decision.

Since these are the decisions that have been made by the director of NASA and Obama sets the agenda for the director, this is presumably what Obama wants NASA to be doing. No manned space flight in the next twenty years, but the Muslims will feel better about it.

Hey, maybe it will motivate them to start their own spaceflight program and now that Obama destroyed all of our possible heavy lift capacity and we will have to buy it from them! Why? Because Obama is fucking retarded when it comes to his NASA agenda.

Maybe you're unaware of this but the NASA/Muslim outreach thing goes back to Reagan. It's certainly nothing new. http://www.debbieschlussel.com/24268/sa ... bush-were/

Not to mention the fact that a joint venture between NASA and a majority-Islamic country like Pakistan would be a truly epic propaganda coup for those who advocate peaceful coexistence.

The point is that NASA's been getting used as an outreach to Muslims since Reagan. That seems a bit hard to dispute considering the evidence regardless of the source.

[Darth Yan]

okay, but the source isn't exactly the most reliable.

So there is no direct link, but you are trying to hand wave it away. I got it.

"Ah, Obama did both at the same time, THEY MUST be linked!" is fucking stupid and you know it.
