"Suck my dick and balls"
There's an episode of Sixteenth Minute of Fame about it.
Background info
To be fair, she’s more famous now than the vast majority of NASA employees
Right? I genuinely do not understand the desire to be famous. Like, it just does not compute for me and my personality.
Notoriety for notoriety's sake seems a bit shallow but I can certainly get the idea of making a mark in something that you hold dear. Recognition.
Pretty fucked up they harassed Hickam to the point that he removed his own blog page defending them.
Thank you for those links. I hadn't heard of this before and it was a hell of a ride.
For everyone else, the TL;DL of the podcast (which you should listen to!) is that Naomi is good now, she works in the aerospace industry ("commercial jet engine stuff"), and she still cusses a fuckton. She did not get back her NASA internship after that incident. I don't think she mentioned in the interview exactly how she got back in the industry, all she said is: "I took such a roundabout way to get back into it", and then the conversation was sidetracked by BOEING KILLED A GUY!
💌 A paragon of proper Internet behaviour right here.
Thanks for the pod-recommend. Never heard of this one.
