Homer's such a great guy. Had the pleasure of meeting him briefly some years back. Absolutely quality lad, and one of the smartest people I've ever heard speak.
Damn imagine being such a gentleman that you not only don't retaliate but go out of your way to help someone who, in my honest opinion, didn't deserve it.
Lmao I’m an engineering student and we’ve actually been shown this tweet as an example of what not to do online. Love that I recognized it at the time from seeing it here.
An ex co-worker of mine was laid off during the early 2010s from NASA. Any time I asked him about his time their he told me October Sky was his favorite movie and Homer Hickman was an inspiration to him. Him and I left our company in 2018 getting new jobs. He informed me a few months later he had gotten his position back at NASA.
Homer Hickam is literally a NASA hero, Everyone at rocketry should know who he is so it's weird that the new intern wasn't aware of who they were talking to; What they did was equivalent to earning a pass to Heaven and immediately flipping Archangel Gabriel off on the way up before even reaching the gate.
Before today we hadn’t heard of him. Now may his name live on for the hero he is for his country. They should be handing him a medal. He damn near saved her whole career!
I'm sure all of her friends had very colorful ways to disagree with why she should lose the internship and everything but, companies or organizations like this have pretty fucking clear social media policies, and she for sure violated that.
Plus knowing how potentially toxic a candidate is, do you really want to hire that person being NASA with a long list of qualified, competent applicants?
This went like an actual anime plot, where someone attacks someone else for doing something they don’t like, only to figure out that the guy is like 50 times stronger than him
Tbh I think she half deserved it. She was excited, which is understandable. Her disrespectful comment towards Homer Hickam though was uncalled for. It not only shows her lack of professionalism towards higher-ups, (Who she doesn't even know the identity of) it shows how she responds to people commenting on her. If you haven't seen her other tweets, after losing her internship, she proceeded to say (in summary) "I lost my job because of an old man." Despite Homer's warning, she still proceeds to be disrespectful towards him. But afterwards, she apologized which is greatly appreciated from Homer. I say she deserves another chance but along with more knowledge.
She only reached out to apologize because her actions had dire consequences. I have no doubt in my mind that if she never got canned or found out who he was that she never would have sent any apology.
@@sybill123fulAnd then allowing your friends to harass and say some of the most vile shit to someone, have some goddamn shame. Not to mention, she was being highly unprofessional and wasn’t someone who represented NASA positively.
Homer Hickam looks like a guy you'd always want to address as "sir" but since he is in private sector, worked with astronauts and he's genuinely cool, he'd say "just call me Homer" and you'd be delighted to do so.
This is why you shouldn’t be subservient to someone who could cancel you or terminate your career because of your language and life choices outside of work. You need to be self reliant and work for yourself, even if consumers try to cancel you and not do business it’s easy to move over to a shell company.
Wow, this Homer guy is one of the most tolerant and forgiving people out there, I'm pretty tolerant and am used to people being rude/mean to me but I would not have had the level of restraint and forgiveness that this champion of the human race harnesses
Possible but part of me thinks it's just an older guy being a bit more soft on a young woman. If the other party was a man, I doubt he'd be that gentle
@nıc too true. It’s actually kinda sad how many people who aren’t in the right state of mind go on Twitter to screech about some dumb shit on the daily. They really should think about seeking help instead.
Her parents were probably like : " Hey sweetie,i heard NASA accepted you, why arent you working there? " Her : " Uh.. i dont know.. they never called me.. "
@@SIedgeHammer83 without mentioning that you might even get to send some shit to space, talk to astronauts and other quite important researches, or hell even end up in space if you're extremely lucky.
@@ilficherrimolori Ya those that didn't make it to NASA application and claiming that "NASA is not great", are probably sour grape SJW who are lazy, psychically unfit, and mentally unfit.
In case anyone's wondering (and you're not), Homer's story is the subject of the 1999 film October Sky, starring Jake Gyllenhaal. He came from humble beginnings and is an all around class act. 😊
I would have laughed so hard if I saw this in class because I remember seeing it pan out in real time on Twitter while it was happening back then. Exactly why I didn't join the site until I knew I was mature and ready. Some people never learned that lesson or patience.
I'm happy it turned out this way, a nice reminder that if you go around mouthing off to people and just being generally nasty, it may well come back go bite you.
I was surprised a person who's applying to work in NASA doesn't know who Homer Hickam is. She just thought he was some random old dude... It's like applying to art school not knowing who Kandinsky is.
Fun Fact: Homer Hickam has a movie that was made about his childhood and how he grew up to love rockets and space. It's called October Sky. It's a great movie
I’m not even sure why anyone likes Twitter in terms of just the platform disregarding the people on it. The functionality and user interface is terrible, you have to click 12k times just to follow the replies within a thread, it’s so fucking annoying, not to mention your limited to like 280 characters.
That must have been a very educational and humbling moment for this STEM hopeful. This she must keep in her heart and mind next time she wants to write or say something stupid.
I love how Twitter goes and bullies a guy clearly in his sixties or more and then they relize he's a nice guy then they don't even apologize and cancel him anyways because Twitter does no wrong
Homer Hickam is the main character in the movie 'October Sky'. Its based off his true story. He came from a coal mining family. He worked hard for a scholarship to study rockets. Much respect for this guy.
Same as the guy who already replied, but honestly I enjoyed it. I feel like in a place like school where kids will make fun of any half serious movie you can't get the full experience.
I think this shows us two valuable lessons: 1) Don't offend the company/organization that you're interning for or use "inappropriate language" when speaking about that company/organization. 2) Life would probably be better without Twitter. Though I feel that second one could be learned from literally any event or conversation on that God-forsaken platform.
Life is good with twitter, usually the butthurt degenerates fight eachother in their little safespace, rather than swarming over other social media sites. So, id say its good that we have a place like twitter so we dont have to deal with em'
Or just don't care what people tweet about. I don't understand why companies worry about what people tweet out. More so just look at what people have done IRL not online.
I feel like the whole thing is just an unfortunate misunderstanding. I read her tweets as more excited than hostile tbh. Then her friends probably thought he was just a rando on twitter telling her to stop swearing, which naturally would get you mocked on twitter. I don't think she deserved to lose an internship just because she swore on twitter and because her friends were taking it too far. I don't think our personal lives and personal twitter accounts should be slaves to our jobs.
Except it stops being your personal life when you bring in the name of your employer and broadcast to the public. I think they totally deserved to lose the internship. They were demonstrating that they were irresponsible in using social media. This can have pretty high consequences in an area where people are exposed to sensitive information, or are now representing the company in the socialsphere. Bullying behavior in public is probably below NASA standards, as it should be. I wouldn't want someone like that working for me.
Reminds me of a similar incident I think was on Facebook. A family was in a court battle with a former employer and got a huge settlement. The daughter of the family quickly made a public post saying something along the lines of "*COMPANY NAME* is paying for my vacation to Europe!". Unfortunately, one of the terms of the settlement was a strict confidentiality agreement and because of this post, the family got nothing.
Imagine losing a life changing career opportunity over something so dumb. She literally may have had a golden ticket to success but she had to be obnoxious about stuff
to be fair that's a reasonable thing for an active internet user to say after an accomplishment like that, but of course it's unprofessional when you're literally working at nasa
@no or maybe yes no its not. It’s still impressive being an intern for NASA bruh. If you have an internship in NASA id say thats a good step towards success. She’s a young student, you expect her to be the president of the united states at that age?
@no or maybe yes completely false. Internships are how a lot of students get job offers out of college. Especially in a very technical field like aerospace
This dude is pretty much a legend , He has his own autobiographical book later turned into the movie October Sky and was played by the actor "Jake Gyllenhaal" and also he's a Veitnam veteran. What an Absolute chad for handling the situation.
after i clicked off this video i went back to my feed and spotted the thumbnail to this video again and for a second thought the title read "Twitter Loser Loses NASA Job"
haha i love this. nothing funnier tnen a person who gets something they clearly dont deserve due to being a shitty person and loses it due to being a shitty person
Thank you for sharing that delightful-sweet story. What a great-euphoric feeling, like when grown up vito corleone goes back to visit Don Ciccio sitting in the rocking chair.
Imagine loosing a job before you even you even started because you were on a Twitter power trip I don’t think this person will ever be rude to strangers again, this is trauma material
if you ever looked at that person's tweets or their mastodon for half a second it's easy to conclude they probably learned nothing, extremely lucky they did it to someone like homer who would go out of their way to help them fix something they did by themselves.
For those who don't know who Homer Hickam is, this is his Wikipedia page. Homer Hadley Hickam Jr. is an American author, Vietnam War veteran, and a former NASA engineer who trained the first Japanese astronauts.

An ex co-worker of mine was laid off during the early 2010s from NASA. Any time I asked him about his time their he told me October Sky was his favorite movie and Homer Hickman was an inspiration to him.
Him and I left our company in 2018 getting new jobs. He informed me a few months later he had gotten his position back at NASA.
Homer Hickam is literally a NASA hero, Everyone at rocketry should know who he is so it's weird that the new intern wasn't aware of who they were talking to; What they did was equivalent to earning a pass to Heaven and immediately flipping Archangel Gabriel off on the way up before even reaching the gate.

If you haven't seen her other tweets, after losing her internship, she proceeded to say (in summary) "I lost my job because of an old man." Despite Homer's warning, she still proceeds to be disrespectful towards him. But afterwards, she apologized which is greatly appreciated from Homer.

I think this shows us two valuable lessons:
1) Don't offend the company/organization that you're interning for or use "inappropriate language" when speaking about that company/organization.
2) Life would probably be better without Twitter.
Though I feel that second one could be learned from literally any event or conversation on that God-forsaken platform.
Life is good with twitter, usually the butthurt degenerates fight eachother in their little safespace, rather than swarming over other social media sites. So, id say its good that we have a place like twitter so we dont have to deal with em'

I feel like the whole thing is just an unfortunate misunderstanding. I read her tweets as more excited than hostile tbh. Then her friends probably thought he was just a rando on twitter telling her to stop swearing, which naturally would get you mocked on twitter. I don't think she deserved to lose an internship just because she swore on twitter and because her friends were taking it too far. I don't think our personal lives and personal twitter accounts should be slaves to our jobs.
Except it stops being your personal life when you bring in the name of your employer and broadcast to the public.
I think they totally deserved to lose the internship. They were demonstrating that they were irresponsible in using social media. This can have pretty high consequences in an area where people are exposed to sensitive information, or are now representing the company in the socialsphere.
Bullying behavior in public is probably below NASA standards, as it should be. I wouldn't want someone like that working for me.
Reminds me of a similar incident I think was on Facebook. A family was in a court battle with a former employer and got a huge settlement. The daughter of the family quickly made a public post saying something along the lines of "*COMPANY NAME* is paying for my vacation to Europe!". Unfortunately, one of the terms of the settlement was a strict confidentiality agreement and because of this post, the family got nothing.
