Since this story somewhat recently went viral on here, Sixteenth Minute of Fame did an episode about it. You should take a listen.

It looks like the 4chan pile-on and doxxing happened AFTER the lost internship. Also, the internships aren't run by NASA, but by the National Academy of Sciences, via their Universities Space Research Association nonprofit.

Mystery/Thriller Monday

This was a fun intersection of a mystery and dinosaurs. Ansel Phoenix draws dinosaurs for a living. But, when she finds the body of her ex-lover and a colleague Nick, she also adds investigating murders to what she does. She has suspects, and that list does not get smaller for a bit. Oh, and then, she starts being stalked. Will she find the answer before she too winds up dead?

There’s a good mystery, mixed with some great science, as well as Native American culture and stories (Ansel is half-Blackfoot). The mystery kept me guessing, and, I loved all the dinosaur stuff. It was a really fun read. (If a little hard to find).

Homer Hickam & Naomi H: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

1. Naomi H. May Have Gotten a Little Over-Excited When She Bragged About Her New Job on Twitter

Naomi H. was pretty excited when she landed an internship with NASA. She was so excited that she may have forgotten her manners; the proud social media user rushed to Twitter where she allegedly wrote, “”Everyone shut the f— up. I got accepted for a NASA internship.”

Homer Hickam, the NASA engineer who trained the first Japanese astronauts, wrote back, “Language.”

But Naomi clearly had no idea who Hickam was, because she replied, “Suck my d* and b*. I’m working for NASA.”

That may have cost Naomi the very internship she was so proud of. Hickam wrote back, “And I am on the National Space Council that oversees NASA.” That’s when Naomi went silent. Shortly afterwards, NASA canceled its offer to Naomi.

Hickam Says He Had Nothing to Do With Getting Naomi Fired

After their initial exchange, Naomi took down her offensive tweets and sent a message to Hickam, apologizing. Hickam is a Vietnam Vet and renowned former NASA engineer; the movie October Sky is based on his memoir. Many people online have wondered how Naomi could possibly not know who Hickam was. (One commenter even said that NASA should not have hired someone who didn’t know Hickam’s name.)

Hickam wrote a blog post explaining that he had nothing to do with getting Naomi fired. The blog post has since been removed, but you can read most of the original on Buzzfeed, here. Hickam says that, as a Vietnam vet, he has plenty of experience with “the f- word” and wasn’t personally offended; he says he was just trying to warn Naomi to watch her language in case someone else at NASA saw her use of the #NASA hashtag coupled with the explicit language.

Hickam added, “Later, I learned she had lost her offer for an internship with NASA. 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. 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.”

Hickam Says He Is Doing All He Can to Find Naomi a New Job

Hickam says Naomi’s friends gave him a hard time on Twitter and unfairly accused him of getting Naomi fired. In fact, he says, he had nothing to do with that decision — and has been doing everything he can to help find her a new job. He wrote in a since-deleted blog post,

“She reached out to me with an unnecessary apology which I heartily accepted and returned with my own. After talking to her, 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. 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.” _____________

the other bits aren't really relevant to the whole thing imho, but the link is there if anyone wants to see.

He's a stand up dude who was trying to keep her out of trouble and it didn't work, no real word on what became of her but he got NASA to assure him there would be no black mark on her record from the whole thing.

Classic.

October Sky (USA, 1999)

[skipsahmedabad]

On July 22nd, the movie club had a screening of the American biographical movie “October Sky‘ at the auditorium of St. Kabir Institute of Professional Studies.

[busychasingclouds]

“It is based on the true story of Homer H. Hickam, Jr., a coal miner's son who was inspired by the launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957 to take up rocketry against his father's wishes and eventually became a NASA engineer. "October Sky" is based on the lives of four young men who grew up in Coalwood, West Virginia.”

I was actually sweeping during Homer and his dad scenes. I just want to say this movie is a must-see. Heart warming. Inspiring.
