In a remarkable turn of events, 18-year-old Matteo Paz has received an invitation to join NASA, courtesy of the agency's new leader, Jared Isaacman. The offer, communicated through a post on X, comes with an extraordinary signing incentive: "Matteo, please apply to work at NASA, and I will personally add a fighter jet ride as a signing bonus," Isaacman wrote. To which Paz enthusiastically responded, "Where do I sign?" This enticing proposal follows Paz's recent achievement in the scientific community, where he developed an AI model named VARnet that successfully identified 1.5 million previously unrecognized cosmic entities from archived data. The significance of this discovery has been widely acknowledged. The post quickly gained traction, amassing over 2 million views. As the year comes to a close, Matteo's prospects look promising—what about yours?
