Mainstream Media NASA Blackout

During re-entry, as our space vehicles come crashing back into the atmosphere, there's a period of several minutes during which the intense heat surrounding the vehicle completely blocks out any communication from the astronauts.

As the Obama administration comes crashing back to Earth a similar black-out is underway concerning NASA and the mission they've been assigned to make Muslims feel better about themselves.

Total words about the NASA Muslim outreach program on ABC World News: 0.

Total words about the NASA Muslim outreach program on CBS Evening News: 0.

Gemini and Apollo astronaut Gene Cernan, who as commander of Apollo 17 was the last man to walk on the moon and whose book Last Man on the Moon I recently finished, had some thoughts about NASA's new mission, which was reported on Fox News:

Good thing we live in a day where most people don't have to rely on the mainstream media for their news.
