I guess it might seems like a spam or a troll one, but actually I'm serious. I'm firt year Mechanical engineer (3 and half to go) and I'd love to work there, Since I was young kid I found that space and space exploration are very intersting thing.

Sorry about my spelling mistakes, My origin is not from th US

Probably the most important step you can take is apply for a job – Stu May 22 '14 at 12:28

This question appears to be off-topic because it is not about space exploration. – Stu May 22 '14 at 12:29

Speaking as someone who worked on and off at NASA/GSFC for 25 years, your best bet is to find a contractor working in the area of your specialty rather than trying for a direct NASA government job, as there are usually far more of these than direct NASA spots. The top 100 NASA contractors list (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NASA_contractors) is probably a good starting point. If you want to go the direct route, try http://nasajobs.nasa.gov for a list of open positions. – Joe McMahon May 22 '14 at 23:02

Other than under extremely rare exceptions, you must be a U.S. citizen in order to work for NASA as a civil service employee. The same applies to most NASA contractors. – David Hammen May 23 '14 at 12:43
