Kid makes adorable case for why he should be NASA's planetary protection officer

There's one kid who wants to be NASA's planetary protection officer more than anyone in the world.

He’s a fourth grader named Jack Davis who believes he's up to the task of protecting our planet. And he wrote NASA a letter to prove it.

(No, the job doesn't really involve defending the Earth from evil aliens.)

Reddit user millamber, a friend of Jack's parents, posted the letter online to show off just how talented he is and maybe even get NASA’s attention.

He very clearly lays out in his letter just how qualified he is for the job--perhaps even more elegantly than a grown adult.

Some of Davis’ experience includes having seen "almost all" movies about aliens and space, and being good at video games. He also hopes to see Men in Black and learn how to think like an alien.

Dear NASA,

My name is Jack Davis and I would like to apply for the planetary protection officer job. I may be nine but I 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. I have also seen the show Marvel Agents of Shield and hope to see the movie Men in Black. I am great at vidieo [sic] games. I am young, so I can learn to think like an Alien.

Sincerely,

Jack Davis

Guardian of the Galaxy

Fourth Grade

So NASA, if you’re listening, know that this galaxy needs a kid like Jack to protect us from danger.

As Redditor philipjeremypatrick commented, “It's clear, concise, and makes a strong argument for the applicant. I say we bring him in for an interview.”
