  Yes,

  Realist I worked at NASA, The Goddard Space Flight Center to be exact. That was some years ago, and I no longer am employed there but I sure enjoyed it while I was, it was my dream job. It also got me out of the Borg.

  I was hired in 1987 to test the vulnerability of the Space Telescope and other NASA systems and spacecraft to attack by hackers (the spacecraft are controlled by commands generated by computer). And yes the spelling is Hubble I love it when my dyslexia kicks in. I even had it spelled incorrectly on my resume once, very embarrassing! Most of the time I can get away with blaming it on the secretary.

  Anyway I did a lot things for NASA, most of them computer security related, as that is what I am, a security specialist and computer scientist. Now however I keep the air traffic control system running. Its not as much fun, but it pays the bills.
