The Difference Between Suitability and Security Clearance

Here’s a little blurb I did for Clearancejobs.com to help people get a better understanding between the suitability for a government job and getting a government security clearance.  How does this apply to space?  Well, a lot of government space jobs require a security clearance whether you’re civilian government, military, or contractor.  Some of the commercial space companies, such as Digitalglobe, also require a clearance for interacting with their government customer.  So, definitely space related and you can read the short and hopefully clear definitions for them both, here.
