A six-year-old Irish boy who captured the hearts of TV viewers when he shared his dreams of joining a space mission has now captured the attention of Nasa.
Adam King appeared on Ireland's The Late, Late Toy Show on Friday where he spoke of his hope of working for Mission Control when he grows up.
The disabled schoolboy got messages of support from high-profile astronauts and US and European space agencies.
Nasa tweeted "we can't wait for him to one day join our team of dreamers".
Adam was among several very young guests who appeared on the special Christmas addition of Ireland's longest-running TV show.
Aww, that's quite adorable . Apparently, he originally wanted to grow up to be an astronaut; however, he's unable to do that because his bones are too brittle, so he's instead aiming to work at mission control.
Of course, even for these ground-based positions, the competition is likely to be very stiff - but, he's at least getting a big head-start on everyone else by starting now. I wish him all the best!
