I was today years old when I realized that she was talking to Homer Hickam, and I've seen the movie October Sky more times than I can count.

I was today years old when i realised that NASA employees arent allowed to swear. Fuck that dude, dont care who he is.

[-] SARGE@startrek.website 4 points 1 hour ago

There is a level of professionalism you should have when you work at some places, but personally I think a little crass celebration should definitely be allowed.

That said, whether she knew who he was or not, her actual response wasn't necessary.

[-] JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 3 points 1 hour ago

He doesn't want the aliens to learn swear words or they might start adding them to the crop circles. Obviously.

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 83 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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:

Censoring language on a screenshot is so stupid. Who is doing this? For what purpose?

[-] hangonasecond@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Reach a broader audience on dogshit platforms. At least this is proper censoring and not a piss take off a line through the "bad word"

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago

That's only slightly less dogshit.

That's what Jesus said when you slid out of your mom's front butt.

If you want to learn more about it than is frankly reasonable, Jamie Loftus recorded a detailed history including an interview with Naomi H.

[-] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 hours ago

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

Heartbreaking.

Also imagine having a social media account actual tied to you irl

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 72 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

Oh, so that's why the fronts are falling off all their ~~boats~~ planes.

[-] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 16 points 1 day ago

That doesn't sound very typical.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

surprisingly enough, for Boeing it actually is nowadays.

[-] DJDarren@thelemmy.club 16 points 1 day ago

Well, it’s not supposed to happen.

[-] acid_falcon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Are you talking about suspected hammer murderer, Jamie Loftus?

[-] Glifted@lemmy.world 2 points 44 minutes ago

I'm talking about puts-ketchup-on-popcorn Jamie Loftus
