Pic 4: Hindus have the ability to behave in a very instrumental way. Ethan Miller/Getty Images A woman whose expletive-ridden tweet may have cost her a Nasa internship could get it back. There were many people who came out in her support too and she received a wave of support from India. However, some people mocked the photo of the Indian-origin girl for having Hindu idols next to her laptop in the photo for equating religion with science. Today's the day: applications for fall NASA internships are due!Īre you ready? Visit and apply at: /CVwFJGYbms The post on Twitter showed photos of four diverse interns and was simply captioned, “Today’s the day: applications for fall NASA internships are due!” USA’s top space agency, NASA had posted a tweet with four photos as a reminder for its fall applications for internships. If a student is rejected they can reapply for the program.NASA’s attempt to showcase diversity backfired after an Indian-origin intern was mocked for posing with Hindu idols in a photo. Interns do receive a manual that includes expectations regarding use of social media. Privacy regulations prohibit the agency from discussing specific details. The Universities Space Research Association has responsibility for administering the internship program but does confer with NASA regarding its selection decisions. While they couldn't comment on this specific incident, they did tell us that interns receive a manual which includes guidelines on how to behave on social media: I think I might get my internship again thank you all for the supportĪ spokesperson for the NASA Johnson Space Center informed us that the Universities Space Research Association is responsible for administrating the internship program. The Twitter account purportedly Naomi's new account, posted a message on 23 August 2018 expressing hope that she might get her internship back: It's unclear if Hickam was successful in getting Naomi a position at NASA. 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 that will be better than she lost. She reached out to me with an unnecessary apology which I heartily accepted and returned with my own. As it turned out, it was due to the NASA hashtag her friends used that called the agency's attention to it long after my comments were gone. This I had nothing to do with nor could I since I do not hire and fire at the agency or have any say on employment whatsoever. Later, I learned she had lost her offer for an internship with NASA. Soon, her friends took umbrage and said a lot of unkind things but long after I was gone as I immediately deleted my comments and blocked all concerned. However, when I saw NASA and the word used together, it occurred to me that this young person might get in trouble if NASA saw it so I tweeted to her one word: "Language" and intended to leave it at that. I'm a Vietnam vet and not at all offended by the F-word. Recently, it was called to my attention on Twitter that someone was being hired by NASA and that they were using the F-word in a tweet about it. Hickam's post is reproduced in full below: Monica learned about the heat capacity and assembly of tiles on a shuttle, the NASA Neutral Buoyancy Lab, and the women who have ventured to space. As she watched, her interest in space grew. Hickam explained in the since-deleted blog post (an archived version can be seen here) that he didn't mean to get Naomi in trouble when he responded to her tweet, and that he has since reached out to NASA on her behalf. ‘As a four-year-old, Monica Saraf repeatedly played the ‘Big Space Shuttle’ DVD that her parents had gifted her. Hickam, a former NASA engineer whose 1998 memoir Rocket Boys served as the basis for the movie October Sky, confirmed that the exchange was real on his web site. So was this exchange real? Did Naomi really lose her internship after insulting a member of the National Space Council? Hickam and Naomi have declined requests for comment from the media. These tweets, as well as the Twitter handle were deleted shortly after this exchange went viral, but a number of news outlets managed to archive them via screenshots.
