Thank you for those links. 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.

To be fair, she’s more famous now than the vast majority of NASA employees
If she’s anything like me that consolation holds no value at all.
Pretty fucked up they harassed Hickam to the point that he removed his own blog page defending them.
Thanks for the pod-recommend. Never heard of this one.
