To Boldly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before...Mecca?

According to NASA Administrator Charles Boldin, one of NASA's primary goals (what with apparently not returning to the moon or flying shuttles anymore) is to improve relations with the Muslim world. I am now wrapping my head with duct tape to prevent it from exploding. In fact, says Boldin, President Obama implied it was to be NASA's highest priority. Unless the plan is to strap radical islamists to a rocket and fire them into space, this is one of the most moronic things I've ever heard.
