China's State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence (SASTIND) has initiated a recruitment drive for a planetary defense force due to the increasing risk of the 2024 YR4 asteroid potentially impacting Earth in 2032. Job postings target young graduates in aerospace engineering, with a strong emphasis on international collaboration and advanced technology developments. The move follows an uptick in the asteroid's risk rating by space agencies and highlights the nation's commitment to planetary defense while engaging a populace facing high unemployment rates.
