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! permalink fedilink source parent [–] piskertariot@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago Thanks for the pod-recommend.
