"Being yourself" needs to be tempered with professionalism, which among other things means not engaging in public outbursts that are likely to alienate the public and investors.

If Naomi was this comfortable being rude to someone over one word on a public platform because she thought she could get away with it, imagine what she would do behind the employers back or god forbid if she was put in a position of power there. Not to mention that her friends witch hunted and harassed the guy, which says a lot about her. This most likely has been done on Naomi's behalf many times before with her support, or even Naomi herself sending them. (Unless she herself was telling them not to, which there is no evidence here that suggests she was.) This is a huge red flag! It is important to have a non hostile work environment or else will people quit and not want to work there if word gets out. If I was an employer and I saw this, I would be like "Hell no she ain't working with us!" because this tweet alone showed a very present part of her character that she was displaying in public. It was unprofessional, rude, and strait up unacceptable behavior that no company worth working for wants in their workplace.

Do you know what platform it’s on?

[@DaBoomz13]

Imagine doing something like this in an era where you can google someone in less than a second, but you instead decide to insult them.

[@Revelian1982]

That's why Twitter is considered the cesspool of the internet.

I mean, I don't blame her too much, I've never heard of or know of Homer Hickam until I saw this video.

[@realtissaye]

@@OrionDawn15 Ah... I, too, love unconditionally insulting old people on the internet.

@@realtissaye I do too pal, I do too... And on that note, I never said it was right or justified, I'm just trying to understand the lady.

[@wetnoodleman]

Ah yes if I’m celebrating for getting an internship and some random person just says language I’m immediately look them up before responding.

[@EdgyShooter]

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.

Internet square law: Time spent on twitter is directly proportional to square of the number of brain cells lost.

But you didn’t give me a unit. You said “time spent” but not the degree by which you measure that time. I’m frankly lost, here, Kirk. Desperately in need of an explanation as soon as you’re able to offer me one.

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.

[@K34N4N]

This Hickam guy seems like a real MVP. Dude gets snapped at on Twitter and not only responds calmly and mostly of concern for her job, but he also goes out of his way to help her get a new job. He's a guy who understands people are young and dumb and most likely will make mistakes. Truly a good dude who cares about the people who are passionate about the industry.

[@stefanmilicevic5322]

What did we learn from this incident? Twitter is toxic, cancerous and you should never waste your time on it...ever!

[@lejenddairy]

True, but to be honest she kind of had it coming. I don’t think she should have been fired, but you shouldn’t really be behaving immaturely on social media if you’re representing an agency like NASA.

[@JanoyCresvaZero]

The only time I ever fucked with Twitter was years ago when it first came out. I made a Twitter account to document the size, color, and frequency of my bowel movements. As you can probably tell, I didn’t take it seriously.

[@elomuskreal]

true

[@SuperCityscan]

I literally know nothing of Hickam, but God bless his soul, he's too professional and patient for this world and especially for Twitter

"He's too patient and professional for this world." If everyone had that mentality nobody would advance lol.

I went to middle school and high school in WV. Our teachers had us watch that movie almost every year. I basically got sick of that movie. It was good the first time though
