Hickam, being a gentleman, did not lift a finger to get him (her?) fired.

Naomi has balls?

Just proved they're not smart enough to be working at NASA. Social media brings down another nitwit who doesn't know when to shut up and behave.

He is one of the lead characters in the movie "October Skies" which is about how he and several teenaged friends learned rocketry in an Appalachian coal town. Worth watching!
