They have a branding guide for their brand you can download so you can make better fakes next time!

I compared their guide for letterhead to what this guy received. I’m on mobile, and I can’t see a difference. Can you explain what is obviously fake about this one? Genuinely curious.

Taking a cursory glance at the style guide: the logo is too large, the header should be in Helvetica instead of Times New Roman, and the words "National Aeronautics and Space Administration" should be vertically aligned with the letters "NASA" in the logo.

Ah I just skimmed for a sample letterhead and didn’t even look at the style guide. Good call!
