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 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.”
