A woman on Twitter simply known as “Naomi H” had a bit of a whirlwind of emotions recently when she managed to get and lose an internship with NASA in just a matter of interactions!
Naomi very excitedly announced to her Twitter followers that she had gotten an internship with NASA, complete with the line, “Everyone shut the f**k up!” ‘October Sky’ author Homer Hickam saw her post and simply replied, “Language,” an attempt to get Naomi to keep her excitement in check. Naomi, not knowing who Hickam was, replied, “Suck my d**k and b***s I’m working at NASA.” Uh oh. It was at that point that Hickam revealed that he was on the National Space Council that oversees NASA. Naomi lost her internship soon thereafter.
To Hickam’s credit, he insists that he did not see to it that Naomi lost her internship. He says that she reached out to him and apologized and that he was actively working with her to find a new internship in the aerospace field, as he believes she is a good person and is very qualified. So we’ll just have to see where this leads!
