There's an episode of Sixteenth Minute of Fame about it.

    sixteen minutes of fame

    To be fair, she’s more famous now than the vast majority of NASA employees

    Right? I genuinely do not understand the desire to be famous. Like, it just does not compute for me and my personality.

    Thank you for those links. I hadn't heard of this before and it was a hell of a ride.

    For everyone else, the TL;DL of the podcast (which you should listen to!) is that Naomi is good now, she works in the aerospace industry ("commercial jet engine stuff"), and she still cusses a fuckton. She did not get back her NASA internship after that incident. I don't think she mentioned in the interview exactly how she got back in the industry, all she said is: "I took such a roundabout way to get back into it", and then the conversation was sidetracked by BOEING KILLED A GUY!
