NASA Outreach Program 'Confirmed' Despite White House Denial
From Fox News:
Call it a failure to launch.
The White House is disavowing a plan to have NASA conduct outreach to Muslim countries, but a congressman who talked to NASA Administrator Charles Bolden about that plan last month said the initiative was very real until somebody slammed the brakes on it.
Rep. Pete Olson, ranking Republican on the Space and Aeronautics House Subcommittee, told FoxNews.com that Bolden described the outreach program as part of the administration's space plan during a conversation they had in June.
"He confirmed it to me," Olson said. The Texas Republican said he thinks the program existed until the "uproar" compelled the administration to rethink it.Though Bolden mentioned the outreach months ago during a speech in February, it drew widespread attention after he described it as a "foremost" priority during an interview with Al Jazeera last month. The administration initially stood by the claim, but White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Monday that Bolden misspoke and that the outreach is "not the task of NASA."
Will they deny this too? (Thanks to Will)
Scientists at NASA to Coach UAE Students
ABU DHABI // Emirati students will soon join teams running Nasa space missions in a sign of increased co-operation in science and education between the US and the Muslim world, according to the UAE-based organisation that secured the arrangement.
The US space agency has signed a deal with the Arab Youth Venture Foundation, a non-profit group based in Ras al Khaimah that promotes science, technology, literacy and arts education, agreeing to take up to 12 Emirati university students to work alongside some of its non-astronaut experts.
