No, I think it was mostly telling the Space Council member to suck their member.

Right some folks in here pretending they were fired for saying fuck when actually they were fired for saying “suck my dick, I work at nasa” to an important member of the space network lol

She got fired because the brain rotted boomers aren't all dead yet.

In another ten years you'll be able to be harmlessly excited on the Internet without losing your job.

You won’t be able to talk say shit like that to your boss (or people in your company) no matter what generation they came from so I’m not really sure what you are talking about. This isn’t a case of someone being excited and getting in trouble for cussing. Would you want people working for you that acted that way towards you?

I think it would just generally be stupid to say that. Boomers or no boomers. It sort of reflects badly on the organisation and I'm not even slightly suprised that they wouldn't be pleased about it. You seem weirdly angry.

Homer Hickam is a fairly famous name in NASA history. She didn't just tell a Space Council member to suck her dick and balls. The film October Sky is about his life growing up as the son of a coal miner and pushing past his dad's disdain for highfalutin rocket engineering. Jake Gyllenhaal plays Homer Hickam. It's pretty good. So what are you up today?
