Obama Outreach Brings Libyans, Moroccans to U.S. Space Camp

Barack Hussein Obama cut NASA programs while making outreach to Muslim countries NASA’s top priority. All the while, Obama and the State Dept. had plans to bring Muslim kids to the U.S. for space camp. Libyans no less.

Recall, the White House backed release of Lockerbie bomber, a Libyan terrorist who killed 190 Americans (270 people in all) and shortly thereafter, Obama rewarded a Qaddafi charity with $400,000. Terrorism pays. hat tip @coyotered9

Washington — Nearly 50 future Libyan leaders have trained as astronauts at the U.S. National Space & Rocket Center’s Space Camp since 2009, and media coverage and a film of the students’ experiences have helped ease U.S.-Libya tensions and inspired other Muslim-majority nations to pursue the program.

The Libyan Space Camp program, now in its second year, was developed through a unique relationship among the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, NASA, the U.S. State Department, the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, the Libyan General People’s Committee for Foreign Liaison and the Libyan General People’s Committee for Education and Scientific Research. It was launched as part of the U.S.−Libya agreement on science and technology signed in 2008 ― the first U.S. bilateral cooperation agreement signed with Libya in decades.

The 2010 Libyan Space Camp, July 16–25, was followed August 1–6 by a Space Camp adventure for a dozen Moroccan students.

The two student groups from North Africa joined other young people from around the world in Huntsville, near NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, to participate in simulated space shuttle missions, training simulators, rocket building and launches, scientific experiments and lectures on space exploration.

The students wore official NASA flight suits, and for a week they worked shoulder-to-shoulder with students from the United States, Canada, Germany and other countries.

The high-impact program is relatively inexpensive, Lawrence said — a total cost of $205,000 for the first year, including the film. In 2010, four U.S. companies — Chevron, Exxon Mobil, Coca-Cola and ConocoPhillips ― funded roughly 25 percent of the costs.

Libya and Morocco plan Space Camp programs in summer 2011, Lawrence said, and U.S. officials in Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, the Palestinian Authority and Egypt are seeking to establish programs.

This program is just ramping up and many more Muslim countries are clamoring to send their kids to the Great Satan Space Camp.

  1. That is an absolute outrage.

  2. So how many mosques does NASA have to build to accomodate them? Don’t forget the halal-butchered meat for the cafeteria.

    • omg you are so racist ! this opportunity is maybe adream for some of this kids ! i’m sure if they weren’t muslim you wouldn’t say that right ! BE TOLERENT !!

      • ISLAM is not a race- no youth program in USA should single out any particular religion for special privileges- it is racist to deny the same opportunity to hindu, jewish or catholic or athiest children.

  3. I think probably 99.9999999 percent of the USA’s ordinary citizens know nothing about this at all.

    Anne, it’s already been done. Can’t have Muslims in one area for any period of time without giving them a facility to use as a mosque, and can’t have Muslims eating even one meal that’s not halal. So yeah, no doubt both of these have long ago been taken care of.

  4. Which begs the question –
    With the fully trained US soldier who refuses to deploy with the 101st Airborne – how many of these veiled muslimas, trained on the American taxpayer dime, are going to go into space with unrelated muslim males? Is NASA going to address Islamic requirements to keep muslim men and women from mixing? How does NASA handle ablutions in space? Mecca orientation for prayer in space – - mecca oriented gyration?

  5. one must really wonder WHY countries like LIB and Morrocco who have no rockets no space programs no money and no tech expertise to get them- why do they need people trained as ASTRONAUTS??

    they are SPIES and we paid them to come here?? Obama is a traitor- every day another bullshit

    WHY IS THIS FANTASTIC opportunity not offered to USA kids who might have chance to go in space

  6. [...] Obama cuts US space program, orders NASA to work with Muslim countries Former NASA Director Says Muslim Outreach Push ‘Deeply Flawed’ Obama Outreach Brings Libyans, Moroccans to U.S. Space Camp [...]

  7. Future history will teach that all space related advances came from islam. Since Americans are dhimidi they can have no part it civilization except as slaves.
