Someone high up in the chain of command you are trying to join that knows a professional public perception is important when we shot people into space? That type of thing gets taken very seriously by people in the PR world.
Sure, but it’s understandable that there would be a misunderstanding in an interaction like that. Something like “this kind of language is not appropriate here at nasa”, or simply “this is unprofessional”.
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.
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
Who the fuck tweets at people telling them not to swear?

TBF, if someone tells you to chill, is your first response to double down on your first mistake?
As a young lass excited for an amazing carrier opportunity? I might.
Especially in an Internet setting where that’s the cultural norm. At work it’s different, but the internet is casual and defiant
Hell yeah it is
