Remember, this is NASA, the Muslim Outreach program, we're talking about...

Space News just on Tuesday reported that the space agency has decided that the ARM must actually capture a boulder and take it to a mosque in Medina to be considered a success.

There, much more tolerant...

NASA Asteroid Redirect Mission on the brink of cancellation

No big "sugar daddies" stepped forward to grease the politician's palms?

This is (was) an Obama directed project, that has to be the dumbest thing NASA ever did. And that's saying a LOT. The purpose of lassoing a rock from a long, long way away, and bring it near earth does what? I have a whole lit of rocks at my place that I'd gladly give to Obama for a whole lot less cost.

I believe Obama had some juvenile fantasy that he could mine precious minerals from the rock. The problem, of course, is that most rocks don't contain precious minerals. All he would be left with is a very very expensive rock.
