I'm well aware what the acronym stands for.

Now, how does that relate to flying around the planet taking air quality samples and studying glaciers?   How is that relevant to aeronautics or space flight in any way?

Do you think that 0bama's NASA directive to "make muslims feel better about themselves" is in any way related to NASA's mission?

There are agencies specifically devoted to studying air quality.   Or glaciers.    And making muslims feel better about themselves.

NASA should be focused on their primary mission : Aeronautics and Space Flight.    Moon Landings.    Mars Missions.    Rocket development.    Testing boundaries of new experimental aircraft.   

You know, normal Space Agency kind of stuff.
