this is why i quit that place immediately after i encountered proof that this is 100% true.

Other than: Memory foam, Portable cordless vacuum, Freeze-dried food, CMOS image sensors, Light-induced oxidation air scrubbers, Weight-resistance exercise equipment, Water purification systems, Firefighting protective gear, Highway safety grooves, Image stabilization technology, Anti-icing aircraft systems, Scratch-resistant lenses, Infrared ear thermometers, Insulation materials (radiant barrier foil), Aerogel insulation products, Programmable heart pacers (derived control tech), LASIK eye-surgery mapping technology, Advanced prosthetics components, Shock-absorbing athletic shoe materials, Improved tire rubber compounds, Portable blood analyzers, Satellite-based weather data applications, Crop monitoring algorithms, Oil spill mapping technologies, Baby formula nutrient fortification (DHA/ARA research contributions)

I wish the US government had at least a tenth of those high standards.

suck my dick and balls

Yes, I agree, this Homer guy completely lacks decorum by seeing some stranger celebrating and trying to interrupt and censor it. Like, how do you just barge into someone's conversation and try to rule how it has to proceed? Very rude indeed.

I agree, you can't go around telling people to watch their language as a complete stranger on the internet and not expect to get dunked on.

There are few personality traits I respect more than that Diogenes energy.

People downvote you, but if i were hiring for a job with lots of wanting candidates and where one mistake has possibility of costing billions of dollars, i would too choose somebody who would know enough to recognize one of the more prevailing person on the field, or who would atleast have sense to look them up before starting dropping f bombs.

Or even more, one who does not drop f bombs at anybody.

It's not (entirely) true. Although NASA did initially rescind their offer to her, Hickam actually stepped in to help and convinced them to renew the offer. But only the initial part of the story survives because it's rage-inducing and that is what fuels clicks.. OP should be ashamed for only posting half the story. But here I am "generating engagement" so... here we are...

Did you read the article? He said he had nothing to do with, and couldn't if he wanted to, her having her internship revoked. It was a result of her using the NASA hashtag that got the attention of the agency.

The same people who make Art.

The same people who dream of Space.

The same people who Work Forces.
