I mean she probably didn't deserve the internship in the first place if she didn't recognize the name Homer Hickham (didn't anybody else watch October Sky?)

Though "And I am on the National Space Council that oversees NASA" is one hell of a response (www.sciencealert.com)

Responses:

actually, per the article, she didn't lose it for telling him that but something else semi-related - oblique Aug 24, 08:21 2
- Well, she lost it for telling him that, but not because Hickam told Nasa, they just found it on their own. -- nm - Ender Aug 24, 08:46
- Yup. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 24, 08:46
I am totally OK with this -- nm - prayformojo Aug 24, 08:16
Well, she is female so that comment means that they should re-examine her basic science competency -- nm - crash davis Aug 24, 08:13
Rocket Boys Homer Hickman? -- nm - Spawn Aug 24, 08:08 2
- yeah. And he's looking to help her get a new position. and to make sure this event doesn't leave a black mark in her file -- nm - Remlik Aug 24, 08:12
