Anyways it’s still advisable to mind the kind of things you put out on your page. “She didn’t go to NASA page to type this. To be fair to her… It was her page,” user Norbert Ifeanyi contended. “Damn… Don’t let over excitement ruin your life,” Kriss Ray wrote. The exchange sparked mixed reactions from other Twitter users. “I have also talked to the folks that had to do with her internship and made absolutely certain that there will be no black mark on her record.

“After talking to her and looking at her resume, I am certain she deserves a position in the aerospace industry and I’m doing all I can to secure her one that will be better than she lost,” he added. Naomi reached out with “an unnecessary apology” which Hickam returned with his own, he wrote. “As it turned out, it was due to the NASA hashtag her friends used that called the agency’s attention to it long after my comments were gone.” “This I had nothing to do with nor could I since I do not hire and fire at the agency or have any say on employment whatsoever,” he wrote. He later learned that NASA had rescinded its internship offer to Naomi. “Soon, her friends took umbrage and said a lot of unkind things but long after I was gone as I immediately deleted my comments and blocked all concerned.” “However, when I saw NASA and the word used together, it occurred to me that this young person might get in trouble if NASA saw it so I tweeted to her one word: ‘Language’ and intended to leave it at that,” he wrote. In a since-deleted blog post that is still available on Google archives, Hickam, a Vietnam vet, wrote that it wasn’t the F-word alone that bugged him. He replied: “And I am on the National Space Council that oversees NASA.”

She clearly didn’t heed his advice - shooting back, “Suck my d–… I’m working at NASA.” Responding to the tweet, Homer Hickam - the ex- NASA engineer who is renowned for his memoir “Rocket Boys,” which was adapted into the 1999 drama “October Sky” featuring Jake Gyllenhaal - replied with a single word: “Language.” “EVERYONE SHUT THE F–K UP,” she wrote in all caps in the since-deleted tweet that has been captured in reposted screenshots. So for all you #nofilter people out there, stay honest, stay genuine, but of course, stay wise.A would-be NASA intern lost her dream job before it even started - because of a vulgar tweet she unwittingly blasted off at a former agency engineer who’s a member of the National Space Council.Ī woman only identified by her Twitter handle, went on Twitter earlier this week to crow that she had been offered an internship with the national space agency. Since the whole fiasco, she’s set her Twitter account to private so future messages won’t be peeped by potential employers. So it seems this story has a happy ending after all, and Naomi’s #nofilter mouth might get her something even better than NASA. He said Naomi reached out to him with an “unnecessary apology” and after they talked for a while and after he looked at her resume, Hickam said, “I am certain she deserves a position in the aerospace industry and I’m doing all I can to secure her one that will be better than she lost.” Hickam now says that he’s doing all that he can to secure Naomi another opportunity in the aerospace industry. “Nor could I, since I do not hire and fire at the agency or have any say on employment whatsoever.” “This, I had nothing to do with,” Hickam said. Hickam went on to say that abuse from Naomi’s “friends” on Twitter caused him to delete his comments and block “all concerned.” He then argues it was the #NASA hashtag Naomi’s “friends” were using in their comments that caused NASA to take notice, which could have led to Naomi’s firing. However, when I saw NASA and the word used together, it occurred to me that this young person might get in trouble if NASA saw it, so I tweeted to her one word: ‘Language’ and intended to leave it at that.” “I’m a Vietnam vet and not at all offended by the F-word. In a blog post published on Tuesday (that has since been taken down), Hickam wrote:
