The fuss started when the woman identified as Naomi H. recently told the world on Twitter, "EVERYONE SHUT THE F*** UP. I GOT ACCEPTED FOR A NASA INTERNSHIP."
quote:
Naomi was reportedly notified after her second post that the internship was gone, and some people online blamed Hickam in a furious response online. Hickam by then had deleted his comments and blocked "all concerned

No one who gets a job with NASA, even an internship, is that stupid. This is good news for NASA and bad news for the hiring procedures.

So...you get an internship with NASA, but don't know who Homer Hickam is??? Wow.

In my mind I want to believe that no person gaining a NASA internship wouldn't know who Homer Hickam is, bit I know that's not true.
Stupid, stupid people.
Stupid, stupid people.

Don't know who he is, but not applying to NASA Internship, so no cares.

what a dumb bitch
not just for insulting that guy, but for showing her arse at all
why act like a little (Hillary)???
the fact that she would behave that way towards anyone should be a disquakifier

NASA engineer who designed, researched and perfected the combustion chamber and nozzle dimensions that are used by every company launching payloads into orbit today-until the aero spike engine finally comes to fruition.

Hickam said Naomi sent him an "unnecessary apology, which I heartily accepted and returned with my own."
He's looked at Naomi's resume, Hickam said, and he believes she deserves a job in the space industry. "I'm doing all I can to secure her one that will be better than the one she lost," he said.
I really hate this. How is her apology unnecessary? Why did he apologize? What did he do? Why does he owe her any help in securing her a better job?
I realize that many of the older generation have trouble navigating the social media scene and he may have felt pressured by the vocal minority that responded to the situation by blaming him.
Maybe he felt it would be virtuous in his response. I just think that his actions are very short sighted and not only further embolden the social media mob mentality but also completely negate any potential for self-reflection and correction by the girl.

He's a nice guy.

He doesn't and didn't say he did. Again, he's a nice guy.

Sure, but a better approach would be to ignore the faux-outrage rather than reinforce the ill-founded notions in Naomi's head that her response was appropriate and that she is actually the victim of the situation.

Others actions or reactions doesn't matter when it comes to being a good person. He read her resume' and decided she would be an asset to NASA.

He said he was looking. Does anyone know the difference between looking and getting.
