NASA intern who unwittingly told a legendary space expert to 'suck my.....' on Twitter is fired

Naomi, who claims to be 21 years old, then replied: 'Suck my d**k and b***s I'm working at NASA'. But the boorish intern was left red-faced when Hickam responded: 'And I am on the National Space Council that oversees NASA.' Her online friends then replied to Hickam with insulting tweets and included the hashtag 'NASA', which brought it to the attention of the space agency.

Hickam later said in a blog post he learned that the unnamed intern had been fired by Nasa, who saw her tweets, following their exchange, and sympathised with her.

The NASA legend has revealed he is doing all he can to help Naomi secure a future in the aerospace sector that is better than the opportunity she lost.

…

The 75-year-old said he did not personally complain to Nasa before the woman was stripped of her offer, and that he never intended to get her in trouble.

He blamed Naomi's 'friends' for her dismissal, claiming they spread the exchange on social media long after he deleted his tweets for fear of getting the intern in trouble.

It is not known where in America Naomi lives, but she identifies as a furry - a subculture who enjoy dressing up as cartoon-inspired animals.

Well-brought-up young women just aren’t what they use to be.

If I had ever said such a thing, my Dad would have chased me out of the house with a nine iron.

What is a 75-YO man, who is on the NASA oversight committee doing posting on a “furry” chat-board?

He was NOT. The exchange was on Twitter, and he probably read it because she hashtagged NASA. Reading the article would have cleared this up for you instantly.

You don't have any, Naomi.

She doesn't now that she has publicly humilitated herself.

[Albion Wilde]

Do you consider yourself:
a) Male
b) Female
c) Something Else

What about: d) Sumthin' special!

You play by the rules and behave decently and what happens? Zip. You get nothing.

Tell me about it. I was one of those people once. The manager said I would not be promoted because he thought I "would probably look down on the rest of the employees."

"Furry's"? Sounds like the "Mouse Problem" bit from Monty Python.

So how does a woman have a d*** and b***s?

You probably could ask Hillary, but I'm betting on strap-on..

[A strike]

Little doubt she’s done that.

The movie October Sky was partially responsible for inspiring my son’s fascination with space and engineer seeing when he was young. That and Buzz Lightyear. He now works at NASA as a systems engineer and fly’s satellites.

I have no idea...I got info second hand without that detail.

It took 16 comments before someone commented on HIS attitude towards her. Merciful Maude. He must entering into the Senile Stage of life and I do not care WHAT position he holds or on WHAT council he holds it.

Naomi is equipped with d**k and b***s?

Or was it just a figure of speech?

Naomi is equipped with d**k and b***s?

If she has a dock and boats then I'm interested.

[CodeToad]

Furry? Cussing online?

Seems she’s the mature type we’re failing to raise these days.

“Naomi represents the best her generation has to offer...”

I’m sure NASA will find a way to survive without her.

October Skies was a great movie.

[Rebelbase]

Probably taken on the set of October Sky.

My mom had an Aunt born in the 1880s who named her daughter Naomi. ...No Japanese connections, but possibly from the Bible.
