If you think people who are super smart and know a lot about science and astrophysics and all of that can’t also be funny, think again – because someone at NASA gave a guy who makes his living as a comedian a run for his money in the humor department.
Who knows whether comedian Alex Falcone really had a dream of working for NASA or whether he might have been looking for material for his act, but either way, he decided to apply for a job he was (like most of us) unqualified for.

A short while later, he received a rejection letter that really was one for the record books.
The letter began by telling Alex he was not being considered, but that they felt some of the questions raised in his application deserved a personal response.

I feel this deep in my soul.
The food is the most important part of anywhere you’re going.
Obviously.

It’s a gift to all of us, really.

Alex may not be qualified to be an astronaut, but this astronaut is totally qualified to be a comedian.
