      Yes I do like my job and it is awesome!!

      No I don’t have to get the space rocks from space. They fall to Earth as meteorites and we can collect them from here.

      Some rocks I use have been brought back by space missions though. I’ve used Moon rock brought back by Neil Armstrong and there’s currently 2 spacecraft about to end on asteroids in space and collect samples to bring back to Earth.
