A 7th century space program
President Barack Hussein Obama, who is not a Muslim obviously, has ordered NASA to work with "dominantly Muslim countries".
Houston, we could have a problem.
Take the views of Sheik Abdul-Aziz Ibn Baaz, former supreme religious authority of Saudi Arabia, for example.
Islamic casuistry attempts to confuse the Koran's Flat Earth cosmology, surely a no-no when the Koran is meant to be quite literally le dernier cri should it choose to pronounce on a subject.
Lest anyone imagine Ibn Baaz was misquoted, or was just a prominent moron, Iraqi television suggests this is a live subject of debate in those parts of the world Obama wants to help reach space.
Not to worry, they will have to hitch a ride on a Russian, Chinese or Indian rocket to get there.

Since NASA's giving up manned spaceflight, they may as well do something with the leftover funding. Print the Quran in Klingon, maybe; seems like a good fit.
