The NASA Internship Twitter Controversy is a legendary internet saga from 2018 involving a user named Naomi H and NASA veteran Homer Hickam. After Naomi posted an expletive-filled tweet celebrating her acceptance into a NASA internship, Hickam responded with a simple 'Language.' Unaware that Hickam was a member of the National Space Council and a space industry icon, Naomi replied with a crude insult. The interaction went viral, leading to the rescinding of her internship offer. While Hickam later stated he tried to help her keep the position, the story evolved into the ultimate 'main character' cautionary tale. Today, the meme is used to highlight moments of extreme hubris followed by immediate, crushing consequences.
