    Someone high up in the chain of command you are trying to join that knows a professional public perception is important when we shot people into space? That type of thing gets taken very seriously by people in the PR world.

      Sure, but it’s understandable that there would be a misunderstanding in an interaction like that. Something like “this kind of language is not appropriate here at nasa”, or simply “this is unprofessional”.

        That’s what the first reply was saying. Someone ready to work at NASA would do a cursory Google, or know who Homer Hickam is in the first place lol.

        “Language” was carrying a lot of extra weight.
