apparently Homer Hickman tried to help her get her job back, but it didn’t work, but now she’s an aerospace engineer at Boeing…so things are going great .
Homer didn’t deny anything, he wasn’t even involved in that decision. He even put in a good word for her. However she basically lied when she was asked about it and that dug her in deeper, also leaving the post up didn’t help.
NASA basically wanted her to not draw controversy to the agency over social media, per their rules, and they normally have a reasonable amount of leeway. But there were a couple concerning things during the process, mistakes she made (that she has probably since grown from) that led to NASA passing on her internship.
From what I remember and what a quick search on the internet confirmed, B didn’t actually deny her anything. He actually went out of his way to do as much good for her as he could. He claims to have replied “Language.” because he knew other people at NASA with more say on her job would find her, which would get her into trouble (and they did find her even before his first Tweet).
What was the original exchange? I can’t remember, though I do remember the drama to follow.
There’s probably higher quality pictures out there, but I figured this would work

I bet you have your reasons for posting the most dogshit version of this picture available, while also linking to a site with a much clearer version.
In case someone wants a better version and to save a click:
That’s only slightly less dogshit.
Language
Suck my dick and balls. I’m shit posting on Lemmy!
And I am on the National Shitposting Council that oversees Lemmy.
If you want to learn more about it than is frankly reasonable, Jamie Loftus recorded a detailed history including an interview with Naomi H.
yEs!
thanks
worth it, thanks.

no problems there.
Oh, so that’s why the fronts are falling off all their
boatsplanes.That doesn’t sound very typical.
Until she discovers a problem and tries to become a whistleblower.
yup, or literally anything else that could possibly happen at that company right now.

It was something like this:
A: Everybody shut the fuck up I got accepted into NASA
B: mind your language
A: fuck you
B: denys A the scholarship

Did… Did they get the job? I kinda hope they did. Being overly excited can fuck you over sometimes. Like a weird yell could even fuck you over.
I swear I remember she didn’t
No, she didn’t. However she did end up in aerospace anyway.
There was a 16th Minute of Fame podcast episode about it, including a recent interview:

Why are podcasts so fucking long?
I want to hear this story but I’m not interested enough to invest over an hour. I’d listen if it was 10 minutes.

It was a lot of swearing. And he wrote “Language”. Then something like “who tf are you” And he answered big boss at NASA or something.
