A nine-year-old fourth grader recently made a compelling pitch to join NASA's Planetary Science Division.

The agency is on the hunt for a Planetary Protection Officer, a position that offers a six-figure salary to defend Earth from biological contamination as well as make sure NASA's space exploration doesn't contaminate space.

Jack Davis, self-proclaimed "Guardian of the Galaxy," sent a hand-written letter to NASA applying for the job opening.

"I may be nine but I think I would be fit for the job," wrote Davis. "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."

Davis continued: "I have also seen the show 'Marvel Agents of Shield' and hope to see the movie 'Men in Black.' I am great at video games. I am young, so I can learn to think like an alien."

Clearly, NASA was impressed enough with Davis' resume to respond.

"I hear you are a 'Guardian of the Galaxy' and that you're interested in being a NASA Planetary Protection Officer," replied Dr. James Green, the director of NASA's Planetary Science Division. "That's great!"

"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," wrote Green. "We hope to see you here at NASA one of these days!"

No doubt, it will be tough for Davis to balance out school and video games all while learning to think like an alien — not to mention he's behind on three Men in Black movies. But he must, not for his sake, but for Earth's.

Godspeed, guardian.
