Here’s video of NASA director Charles Bolden telling al-Jazeera that one of the agency’s “foremost” new directives under the Obama administration is to reach out to Muslim nations to make them feel good about their contributions to the sciences (it’s the first two minutes of the clip.)

Now, presumably Bolden is catering his remarks to his audience a bit when he talks about the outreach being a top priority. But coming from an administration that has called on NASA to scale back its grandest ambitions, the lending out of the agency’s services to make the vast, heterogeneuous Muslim world feel like special little snowflakes is. . . frustrating to say the least.

H/t Powerline.
