        yEs!

        thanks

        worth it, thanks.

        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 .

        no problems there.

        TLDR from the actual interview with her:

        • She did lose the internship. He did try to get it back for her but it didn’t work.
        • She eventually ended up working for Boeing, but on commercial jet engines rather than space stuff.
        • they called her to rescind her internship while she was at her brother’s wedding

      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

        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.
