@ElShadaiLives You're a thousand years off..i'm not religious but i'm sure it was written in 630, not 630, as i'm sure Islam existed before Columbus explored.
@AgrivatedKillah - Maybe ElShadaiLives made a typo in accidentally adding a "1" - not unlike the omission you made in typing the same year twice and forgetting to cap "I'm":
Getting to the moon sure was easy making all those scientific calculations with those ARABIC NUMERALS and a DECIMAL SYSTEM based on THE POWER OF TEN. Jeez, neocons, give credit where it's due. Without certain technological contributions from Arabic culture, we'd be missing out on all sorts of modern amenities. Is it really so bad NASA want to make some TV appearances and send out some press releases saying something NICE about Arabs?? Why don't you cons come back down to earth for a change?
@Soundpolitic - "arabic" numerals is a misnomer. It's actually the Hindu numeral system or Hindu–Arabic numeral system.
The number system the western world adopted was originally invented by Hindus in INDIA centuries before there were Muslims.
It was developed by Indian mathematicians and used extensively throughout India, before being adopted by the Persian mathematicians in India and passed along to the Arabs further west. The numeral system was transmitted to Europe in the Middle Ages.
Try and get an education before commenting. The system, including decimal notation, was the work of Hindus. We would not be missing anything if the arabs/muslims had never existed. NASA is not an organisation for holding the hands of idiots who need extra help to learn - it is meant to be pushing our technological limits, not acting as a nursery minder as Obama wishes. Bolden is not a scientist, but a politcal appointee who should not be in the posiiton.
don't be a sociopath, arabs have been complete savages the past 600 years. arabs have destroyed the beautiful culture of persia, babylon, phoenicia, and the berbers. fuck arabs and muslims, who cause war all over the world.
It is stupid and I want to know whose hair brain idea this was. My Uncle is retired from NASA thank God.. What the hell does this have to do with sending space craft into space. This has to be one of the most stupid things I have ever heard of. Its like some people bend over backwards to appease these damn muslims.
Mr Bolden is not a bad guy. However, he is not competent to be head of NASA. He was an affirmative action NASA hire. This would be like making a competent black bank teller head of the Federal Reserve System. Same goes for our black female Surgeon General. And our black Attorney General. And our affirmative action black President, who won a Nobel Peace prize for giving campaign speeches.
@JCGMich29 , seems obama purposely appoints people who are not of the hated white race...most of his czars, and useless idiots in high positions are either muslim, have some color, or both. This is NOT the criteria for appointing someone to a job in government!
no offence to Bolton, but what WERE his qualifications for head of NASA apart from being willing to lick obamas boots? As for muslims they contributed a great big ZERO to maths etc, all plagiarised from the countries they invaded!
boldon was Shuttle pilot twice - this does not qualify him for head of NASA. I am sure race had a lot to do with it given Obamas history - NASA is not a "feel good for muslims" group - got it!!!
Cancel the Constellation Program, create a NASA Muslim Outreach program. This is a fine example of what Obama is all about. I used to think the purpose of NASA was to put America into space and to keep us exploring, but I guess working on solving the Muslim world's inferiority complex should come first.
What the heck is happening to the USA? NASA, Muslim outreach. This is something Saturday Night Live would have said as a joke to lampoon Obama's hubris and grand vision and parting the waters stuff....but this is actually real. Wow.
So basically Gibbs is saying that in spite of the fact that Bolden has made this assertion on more than one occassion, that isn't really what Bolden said or meant.... Gibbs was not present when Obama gave Bolden his marching orders. Gibbs doesn't seem to have made any effort to confirm or deny this with Bolden. So if you don't make any efforts to check the facts, is it really lying? or just pure ignorant bull to keep his job? I'm thinking the latter.
OK, Let's lose the racist stuff. That makes us all look uneducated. Having said that, this is insane; NASA and our space program are supposed to be a jewel in the american crown. Never will Muslims like or even tolerate us; it is bound in their religion; they are taught we are evil unbelievers and have preached that since the penning of the Koran in the 600's. So we are either horribly naive or there is an agenda here with Obama that I feel is not in our best interest.
Good grief. Where does Obama get his nut jobs. Now NASA will be an outreach to Muslims to feel good about themselves. Stupid! President Kennedy did not seem to be proposing something like an outreach to make others "feel" good. He actually saw space exploration as worthy of doing for the good of man kind. I think most people would be surprised at all the things that are used in our dalily lives that we would not have had without our space program. How about that Hubble telescope?
I know Charles Bolden, he's also a former Astronaut and Marine General. He's being forced to be Obama's yes man because he's the only one that has any chance of saving the space program.. otherwise that hag Lori Garver becomes NASA administrator, she's a global warming left wing wuss. I just wish Bolden could step up to Obama.
@EndeavourLaunch are u serious there is only one guy in the country that can run nasa? wow we must really be a nation of idiots.....if this is the only guy that can run nasa we might ad well move to canada now
This is what happens when we allow other races to rule our nations. What people explored the oceans and circumnavigated the Earth? It's a terrible mistake to believe that the other races have the same drive to explore that we do. Created equal we are not.
If one knows the truth, one does not to be told of your historic contribution, you know what it is... unless you are not allowed to know the truth, or the truth is not found in being politically correct, or the truth is different from what is reported. Perhaps impeachment is a better mission.
WOW, Why the hell would the National Aeronautics and Space Administration who's mission is to pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research be a cheerleader to Muslim world. I just don't get Obama. He obviously has his own agenda in some la la land.. I thank my lucky start I never voted for this numbnuts and can only hope he's a one term president.
Gee, I thought NASA was supposed to fly spaceships and get us to explore the moon and Mars and stuff. This charter served to inspire the entire world during the 1960's. What does helping Muslims feel good about their contributions to science, math and engineering have to do with any of this? How does that inspire kids? How can space exploration be confused with religious strife? Are our tax dollars (and the required Chinese subsidy) really being spent on this drivel? God help us all.
Nasa is now a Muslim outreach foundation. Wow isn't that stellar? Only if the president himself is a terrorist. Also there is now great promise for the Department of energy to encourage organic farming?

NOTHING distinguishes Bolden to be THE person to head NASA.
NOTHING but having been Obama's personal choice. I'm sure race had nothing to do with it. ;-|
