Fun Fact of the Day

The Planetary Foundation is sending some living organisms and some soil from the Russian tundra towards Mars and then back to see if life can survive in space. It turns out that NASA has a person whose official job title is Planetary Protection Official. That sounds like a cool job and and even cooler business card.

That is possibly the coolest job I have ever heard of. Do you think they get a badge? They could turn up on planets flashing the badge - "Cassie Conley, Planetary Protection, I hear there's been a disturbance..."
