I am immensely jealous. Working at NASA would be the ultimate nerd thing to do. I love space and tech so this would be a perfect match. Unfortunately, I'm Canadian, so the process would be a lot to reach at position there.

I was surprised to find JPL is using Github. There is also a couple of tools we use at our job and I understand why some bigger orgs would use them. I loved to read your post. I can't wait for the next one.

Hi! Not all roles require you to be a US citizen.

A big push at the lab is innersourcing code. GitHub is a great too help with that.

Depending on the type of work, a role might be only for US Citizens. Check out the careers website to see if the role you're interested in has that requirement.
