NASA Emails are being hacked by Nigerian Spammers

I just received a email which made it through my filters from a Nigerian spammer. What made this email intresting is number one that it didnt get spam filtered like usual and number two it came from a NASA email address ON THE KSC Complex! I have blocked the last name for sake of privacy in the qoute but this is the email as copy and pasted from the inbox. FREAKY!
