9-Year-Old Applies For A Job At NASA, Gets An Encouraging Reply From Them

9-year-old Jack Davis wants to be a planetary protection officer. A job opening that was posted on US jobs had an interesting candidate, who showed an interest. “My name is Jack Davis and I would like to apply for the planetary protection officer job," he wrote in a letter. " “I may be nine but think I would be fit for the job. One of the reasons is my sister says I am an alien also I have seen almost all the space and alien movies I can see,” he said.

The job requires someone who would assist with the "avoidance of organic-constituent and biological contamination in human and robotic space exploration." Jack thinks he is perfect for the post as he has seen Marvel ‘Agent of Shield’ and is great at playing video games.

Jack signed off the letter as ‘The Guardian of The Galaxy’ (now how cool is that!)

Pat came a reply from NASA’s Dr. James L. Green, the director of NASA's planetary science division. "We are always looking for bright future scientists and engineers to help us, so I hope you will study hard and do well in school. We hope to see you here at NASA one of these days!" Green's letter responded.?

It’s great to see young talent to be interested in work at such a tender age. Kudos to NASA to encourage them in their endeavour.
