Hickam also claimed that as an acceptance of her apology, he will help her find a new position in the aerospace field. Despite this, Hickam apologized to Naomi, and she also did likewise. Hickam then blamed Naomi’s friends for spreading screenshots of their exchange all over the internet long after he deleted his replies. Hickam even admitted that he deleted his tweets so as to not cause trouble for Naomi. NASA’s Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM) paid internships allow high school and college-level students to contribute to the agency’s mission to advance science, technology, aeronautics, and space exploration. Still, it was apparently not Hickam who is to blame for Naomi’s mishap. He replied with “And I am on the National Space Council that oversees NASA.” After that, Naomi’s internship went down in the history of NASA as the shortest ever, since it was practically over before it even began. Hickam, being a Vietnam War veteran and an esteemed National Space Council member for NASA, simply could not let this slide. So she responded with, “Suck my d**k and b***s I’m working at NASA.” Photo by The Cosmic Shed – Podbean Hickam commented a brief and self-explanatory, “Language.” Unfortunately, Naomi did not know who he was and was too absorbed with her prideful achievement.

Much of the abuse seemed to take umbrage at Mr Hickam being an 'old white man' and a 'hectoring old dullard'.You know what they say about karma right? About it being akin to a female dog? Well, it can certainly be such sometimes, especially if it strikes the deserving person like lightning. Mr Hickam has reportedly declined to comment on the matter further.

Her bio now simply states she's 'taking a break from Twitter for a while'. They have told me she may has since made her Twitter account private. '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. '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,' he wrote. In case you might go to her Twitter account to look for it, well, youre out of luck, it has been deleted soon after. A Twitter user identified only as Naomi H.

So much so, that Naomi tweeted, 'EVERYONE SHUT THE FCK UP I GOT ACCEPTED FOR A NASA INTERNSHIP. 'Later, I learned she had lost her offer for an internship with NASA,' Mr Hickam wrote in the blog post - also since deleted, but reported by Buzzfeed News and the Independent.

The National Space Council was set up in 2017 by US President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, and took over governance of NASA. 'And I am on the National Space Council that oversees NASA,' Mr Hickam replied. Clearly not knowing who he was, crude response was to tell Mr Hickam, 'Suck my d**k and balls I'm working at NASA.' In a recent incident, a woman lost her NASA internship after an exchange of profanity-laden tweet with an ex-NASA engineer and member of the National Space Council, Homer Hickam on Twitter.
