9-year-old applies for alien-fighting job, NASA responds

Nice kid and all, but isn't the disclosure from NASA about microbial life existing on the moon the bigger story here?

The moon needs protection. NASA did a good service to write a 9 year old back.

is this a publicity stunt by nasa and fox news?

Maybe, but NASA were saying that the job involved protecting the earth from the microbial life-forms that they bring back from the moon. ALIENS!

Very cool. I wrote to NASA when I was his age too. I can't remember what I said but i know I mentioned Saturn being my favorite planet. I was gifted with some signed pictures of some of the then current astronauts. Sadly I haven't seen them in decades. If I still have them they must be buried somewhere. Anyway I'm glad to see NASA still responds like this.

Dear Jack,

Aliens are demons. But it's great if you're interested in them and even better if you think you are one. Keep serving our master, Lucifer.

Love,
NASA

NASA is a sham.

Little young Link,

There is no beautiful, virgin princess at the end of your 50 plus hour journey of protecting your kingdom from the invading Dragon.

I think it is great of NASA to foster the spark of imagination in this young lad.

However, I also think it is a shame that the focus of the young man is on fighting aliens, rather than promoting first contact initiatives, and discovery as a higher priority.

But hopefully as he learns more about the universe, about the human race and his moral and ethical thinking comes into balance, he will discover these things for himself and learn to wonder, more than fear, at what may be out there.

First contact?
This child has more understanding in his pinky finger than apparently you are allowed to see.

Noone cares what is out there..they all come here.

Nasa wastes childrens time...this child will do better than all of them put together.

Ahhh it is amazing watching liberal mirth of delusion still lapping at the shores.

Think yourselves lucky. I've heard that working for NASA is a lot like being in a monastery.



(Except a monastery teaches friars)

Well as it turns out NASA are using the word Planetary wrongly.... I as a U.K citizen am not allowed to apply as it is for U.S citizens only...... surely planetary means more than the U.S haha

This made me smile ear to ear.
The innocence of a child is simply beautiful.

When my youngest of 3 children was 4 years old, I asked her what she wanted Santa to bring her. Her big brother and Sister had written a laundry list of toys they wanted, but she only wanted one thing...a butterfly.
Damn near made me tear up the look on her face, full of imagination and wonder.

She got that damn butterfly that Christmas too.
Took me a month to find it.
It's an electrical gadget that houses a fake butterfly in a jar, but when you tap on the glass, the butterfly will flutter around and flap it's wings.
Goodness she loved that thing.
Now she's 9 and everything is all about space and planets and that she's going to go to space when she grows up.
I really hope she does.

Thanks for the awesome article!

That was sweet, I'll give NASA a point.

However, hopefully when he is a fully grown human he will have learnt enough about NASA to understand their... faults?

I'm not saying they ALWAYS lie but....
