Boy, that’s a great job

-

WHEN NASA announced it would hire a planetary protection officer – it would have expected applicatio­ns from the world’s top scientists.

But one boy, 9, a self-proclaimed “guardian of the galaxy”, threw his hat in the ring.

Jack Davis sent NASA a handwritte­n letter applying for the role, which will involve preventing “biological contaminat­ion in human and robotic space exploratio­n.”

He told NASA he would be perfect for the job because his sister always tells him he is like an alien and that he is obsessed with sci-fi movies.
