Dr. Nicola Faux has shocked the world by becoming Nasa’s head of science. Many were surprised by the announcement, as Dr. Faux has been known to be more into watching reality TV than studying science.
But according to sources close to Dr. Faux, she has been preparing for this moment for years. “She’s been binge-watching Star Trek and The Big Bang Theory for months now,” said one anonymous source.
When asked about her new position, Dr. Faux said, “I’m thrilled to be leading the charge at Nasa. My first order of business is to find out if aliens really exist, because I’m convinced they do. I mean, have you seen the Kardashians?”
Dr. Faux hails from a small town in Hertfordshire, where she was once known for her potato cannon experiments. She’s come a long way since then, and is now ready to take on the ultimate challenge – discovering extraterrestrial life.
Some have raised concerns about Dr. Faux’s qualifications for the job, but she’s not worried. “I may not have a degree in astrophysics, but I’ve got something even better – a subscription to National Geographic. Plus, my horoscope said today was my lucky day, so I’m feeling pretty confident.”
Congratulations to Dr. Faux on her new role at Nasa. We can’t wait to see what she discovers – or if she manages to sneak any Kardashian references into her research.
