    Aliens?  

    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 ntended [sic] 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.

    Lol...I remember when such headlines were only found in tabloids like The National Enquirer, now at least half of the MSM uses them.  So yes, you do have to actually read the article.  :)

    It seems like something you'd read about in MAD Magazine or one of those rag sheets by the register. Thank you for your reply Ele and Happy Thursday! :)

    Wait! What? 

    Sounds like another government scam on the taxpayer. We ALREADY have a whole group to do that. MIB has been around for years, apparently. They even use Weekly World News to track those "extra"terrestrials. (Speaking of which, where is Dennis Rodman these days? He's one of the ones that doesn't bother with a disguise . . .)

    The hours were not posted Pay. I would  guess round-the-clock 24/7 since you never know when aliens will show up. I think they live in different time zones. My sis had a job once for which she had to wear a beeper 24 hours a day. She was on call at any hour. She worked for a printing company and I never learned exactly why she'd have to in to the plant at 3am on occasion. They had 3 shifts of 8 hours each. The company used to print stuff for banks. Thank you for your response and Happy Thursday! :)
