NASA pays to defend earth

[Irene]

WHERE does it say ANYTHING About ALIENS in the job description?

This is about stopping the COSMIC LITTERBUGS from polluting other planets (of which NASA is the biggest offender )

This position is assigned to Office of Safety and Mission Assurance for Planetary Protection. Planetary protection is concerned with the avoidance of organic-constituent and biological contamination in human and robotic space exploration. NASA maintains policies for planetary protection applicable to all space flight missions that may intentionally or unintentionally carry Earth organisms and organic constituents to the planets or other solar system bodies, and any mission employing spacecraft, which are intended to return to Earth and its biosphere with samples from extraterrestrial targets of exploration. This policy is based on federal requirements and international treaties and agreements.

I now remember what I meant to say yesterday and that is that it's a bit late for preventative measures. We have, almost assuredly, polluted the cosmos on a biological level.

Our machines in space have been bathed in radiation, yet we find earth-based organisms clinging to things like the ISS.

Where the fun in that though, I already landed on a pink vinyl table cloth 

Damn one quick search on Laser Ablation and one find's a doc from The Nasa...

NASA Responds To 9-Year-Old Who Applied To Be A Guardian Of The Galaxy
The kid's application to become a "planetary protector" went viral.
By Doha Madani

Fourth-grader Jack Davis is prepared to take on the interstellar role of planetary protector, and NASA would be happy to use his skills ... someday.

"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," Green wrote in a letter posted online Friday. "We hope to see you here at NASA one of these days!"




The six-figure position at NASA is actually about protecting other planets from us humans and all our foreign germs ― it involves collecting specimens from across the solar system and bringing them back to Earth.

We hope that there will be some awesome position for Jack at NASA when he grows up. Maybe even one that includes an alien battle or two.
