Tbf, Homer Hickam is pretty well respected around NASA (he was the main character in October Sky). He also said in an interview later that he didn't have any say over their internship being withdrawn, it was all the retweets with people hastagging NASA that got NASA's people's attention.
and to be fair all be said was "language", he didn't know that the OP would be replying with the receipts that would get them rejected by NASA
