1.1Mviews
Upon posting a job opening for “Planetary Protection Officer,” NASA space agency has received countless job applications, but none as original and adorable as the one by Jack Davis, a 9-year-old with all the right qualifications to be a “Guardian of the Galaxy.”
“I have seen almost all the space and alien movies I can see,” Jack explained in his letter. “I’m great at video games. I am young, so I can learn to think like an Alien.”
Jack’s letter went viral after a family friend posted it on Reddit, and when it eventually reached the space agency, NASA’s director of planetary science division himself engineered a perfect response for Jack on Twitter: “It’s about protecting Earth from tiny microbes when we bring back samples from the Moon, asteroids and Mars. It’s also about protecting other planets and moons from our germs as we responsibly explore the Solar System.”
NASA encouraged Jack and others to study hard and to one day become the real “Guardians of the Galaxy.”

You have a pay_pal account.. because you can include an extra 300 a week to your pay-check just working on the internet for four hours every day. see this link Good Luck_____________ http://cutt.us/wGzd
Or let's be realistic if he works hard and does good in school, he might get a job in mcdonalds, if he's lucky.
Way to be encouraging.
It is awesome that NASA took the time to respond. Kids should be encouraged and inspired because they should go to school knowing that it has an actual use.
I don't want to be the party pooper here but I'm sure NASA responds to a lot of little boys and girls. This boy's family decided to share it on social media while others don't.
well, Brigitte, you are and your comment... has absolutely not point. doesn't atter if they responded to one kid or to 100 kids, still cool as hell!
NASA tweeted about it
Yeah, and it's cute and encouraging Every. Damn Time. Lets keep encouraging kids to be passionate and interested in science.
Brigitte live a bit, close your eyes lean back and next thing you know you are holding onto the tail of a shooting star.
*no point & *matter (why there's not "edit" button?).
Oh feck off Brigitte..back to your planet of party pooper aliens!
Weird all my kid got was a subpoena to appear in federal court for unlawful entry into govmnt systems.Guess they can't all be good letters.
Is it just me, or is "planetary protection officer" the most kickass job title ever?
